Paul won't do well in FL. Blue hairs down there don't vote for anything except what is in their best interest, and most of them don't want any changes to SS until after they're dead.
I went to see Bowles and Simpson at Duke University last week, and their message was "shared sacrifice". This is why their plan was rejected by Congress, and why the Super Committee failed to reach any agreement on essentially the same plan. They didn't spare anyone. Now we have $2.4T in automatic spending cuts being implemented in Jan 2013, Bowles and Simpson wanted $4T, and Repubs are already complaining about cuts in defense. Even this, I feel is a ruse. Most of the cuts come toward the end of ten years.
Paul is the only candidate willing to take on the bureaucracy in DC, and has my vote. Anyone not supporting Paul should get out a checkbook, and write a check for $200T, because that's the total amount of debt and unfunded obligations the US Government owes. Paul will reduce that by $1T his first year. It's a start. No other candidate is willing to make that offer.
