Romney Wins Florida Primary, Regaining Momentum
Mitt Romney has won the Florida primary after aggressively beating back a challenge from Newt Gingrich and regaining momentum on his relentless march toward the Republican presidential nomination.
Interviews with voters as they exited the polls in Florida allow The New York Times to project that Mr. Romney will win the state by a wide margin over Mr. Gingrich, who will come in second. Ron Paul and Rick Santorum will finish the night behind the two leaders.
The campaign now shifts immediately to Nevada, which will hold its caucuses on Saturday. Mr. Gingrich has vowed to continue his battle against a man he calls a Massachusetts moderate. And Mr. Santorum and Mr. Paul have already left Florida to begin campaigning in the upcoming states.

(6,440 posts)Even they realize that Santorum stands no chance of being the nominee. Well, apart from that guy who said that "It's not too late for a Palin to enter".

first post, full of snark for the win!
seriously tho, I'm glad it'll be mitt.... if the unthinkable happens, he's probably the last republican who can/will think, and possibly change his position based on what the POPULACE thinks.... meaning he'll be wiling to cut deals, as opposed to be blindly partisan.
that said GO OBAMA 2012!!!
