Won the war. Lost the battle.
Hang in there, Ross Santorum.
Orange County [Orlando] is practically a microcosm of the state vote breakdown by candidate.
53.6% reject Romney.
60.9 % Miami-Dade County went to Romney......
And it will go to Obama in November.
My idea RedMDer created.
Saw Newt last night, I’d be more confident in him to bring us Senate and House Majorities, Romney has got to show the political leadership to getting those majorities or we end up stuck with the (non)Affordable Health Care bill, and thank God Newt stays in. Florida gets Punk’d, Axelrod is Punk’d too, as Romney does do better than 25%.
"Mitt Romney’s across-the-board victory in the Florida Republican presidential primary on Tuesday night serves as a direct rebuttal to the criticism that he simply isn’t conservative enough to be the party’s nominee and leaves his remaining rivals with few obvious next steps as the nomination fight moves to Nevada next month."

WRONG! It shows me that Mitt is liberal enough for a minority of GOP Florida voters and the GOP Establishment.
Conservative has NOTHING to do with Romney!
A minority that constitutes a plurality.
Well on to the next primaries and cacuses.
Let’s see how the rest of the south goes.
Mitt got the populated counties..
EXACTLY as he did in Iowa, NH and S.C.
“Won the war. Lost the battle.”
Talking about Newt?
Good observation. The base would stay home in droves or vote split ticket, write-in at the top, Libertarian, Constitution Party, anything but Romney has no coat tails for the downticket races whatsoever. This is why the democrats are salivating at the prospect of a Romney candidacy, why Harry Reid predicts the end of the tea-party, why Nancy Pelosi sees a real possibility of taking back the House this year.
And in November the populated counties will go to obama.
turnout was down 17% vs. 2008 primary (McCain vs. Romney).
