Mitt Romney says his economic know-how should make him the choice of Republicans in Florida on
Tuesday.

He told an earsplitting rally near Miami that no one will have to brief him on the economy and that he won't have to rely on the economic savvy of his vice president.

The former Massachusetts governor is blasting rival John McCain for saying that his expertise is less on the economy than foreign affairs.
