Florida is the nation's biggest and most-diverse swing state. Florida has more Electoral College votes than Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina combined. Without it, Republicans probably can't win the White House.

"A Florida win by anyone other than Romney, would be a big boost for a conservative challenger, who would be catapulted into the South, which is loaded with conservative evangelical tea party voters who aren't really Mitt Romney voters." said Greg Mueller, president of the conservative CRC Public Relations firm, who worked for Florida Gov. Rick Scott's campaign as well as the presidential campaigns of Pat Buchanan in 1996 and Steve Forbes in 2000. "Florida could become Mitt Romney's firewall," said Mueller,
Mueller said the withdrawal of Rep. Michele Bachmann on Wednesday from the race should give a boost to Gingrich, Texas Gov. Rick Perry or former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
