Last week in South Carolina, the Republican race for the White House went topsy turvy in just a few days - and it seems that the GOP race may be doing the same thing in Florida this week.

Three new polls out today show Mitt Romney suddenly grabbing a strong lead here in Florida, just a few days after two of those same polls showed Gingrich with lead over Romney.

Insider Advantage had Gingrich up eight points on Sunday - that shifted 16 points in favor of Romney to give Mitt his own eight point edge.

Rasmussen had Gingrich up nine points earlier this week - that shifted 17 points in favor of Romney, giving him an eight point advantage.

At a morning rally here in Jacksonville, Romney said he was looking forward to tonight's debate, as he took some veiled swipes at Gingrich, again trying to label Gingrich a Washington insider.

"I've never lived in Washington, D.C., I'm not part of the culture of Washington, D.C.," Romney said, never uttering Gingrich's name but making it very clear who he was talking about.

"If you think you really need someone who is part of the culture of Washington," Romney added, "why there are other people you can choose."

As for Gingrich, he began the day with a Tea Party rally north of Orlando, where he repeatedly lashed into Romney and again criticized the negative ads run against him.

"The candidate who is willing to say anything and do anything, because he's so desperate to be President, he doesn't think the truth matters," Gingrich said.

After his rally, which had a big turnout of over 1500 people, Gingrich told reporters he was very frustrated with all of the negative ads that have been hitting him here in Florida.

"I am angry," Gingrich said. "I think every American should be angry."

"How can somebody run a campaign this dishonest?" Gingrich asked.

It may preview a more aggressive Gingrich in tonight's debate here at the University of North Florida.
