Newt, Mitt and Rick are pretty lucky – they’ll be spending the next week campaigning in sunny Florida and I’m hoping to catch a glimpse of the three Republican presidential candidate hopefuls during their whirlwind trips.

“How long were you in Boston?” the TSA agent at Boston Logan International Airport asked. “Since Monday,” I replied. “What were you doing here?” (Or something to that effect) “Promoting Southwest Florida as a tourism destination,” I said.
