ROMNEY WINS BIG IN FLORIDA

Mitt Romney had a good night last night. Florida is one of the key swing states in the November election, and for that reason for the former Massachusetts governor it is a prize worth far more than the delegates at stake. This win makes the case for Romney that he is the most electable, and therefore most formidable, candidate to go up against an incumbent President. The calendar, and the determination of Gingrich, Santorum and Paul, means the contest will go on, perhaps into June. But last night Mitt Romney did what was necessary to show why all the pundits and political professionals (me included) believe he will be the Republican nominee. It also makes the case for those who believe (me included) that Mitt Romney will be the next President of the United States.
