Is it still going due West because my TV station in SW Florida been saying WNW for the past hour - just repeated WNW a min. ago.

Which one is it...W or WNW?

Landfall will likely be near Fort Pierce, maybe a tad south EXACTLY where Frances hit(Stuart Inlet) right at Midnight.

So where the heck is it? What is directly due west of these coordinates?
I know there has to be a town somewhere there.........

Jeanne is moving between 270-275, I'd call it due West. That's based on radar loops from Melbourne and Miami.
