Romney Definitively Wins Florida Primary

For those who desire a "conservative alternative" to Mitt Romney for the GOP nomination, the chances appear to be diminishing. Tuesday night signaled a decisive victory for Romney, with a big victory in the Florida primary. As of around 9:30, Romney had gained 46.6% of the vote, with Gingrich the closest follower, at 31.8%. Behind those two, Santorum gained 13.3% of the vote, while Paul had received 7% of the vote. What does this mean for the GOP field? It's hard to say right now, but definitely keep your eyes on the major news outlets over the next few days. Before the primary, some in the media we're asking if Gingrich would get out of the race were he to lose Tuesday night--will that happen? Gingrich, along with both Santorum and Paul, based on what they're saying appear to be in the race for the long haul. While the Republican base certainly appears most comfortable with Romney, it looks as if we could be in for a long, drawn out competition leading up to the GOP national convention.
