Romney Wins Big in Florida (Plus: BLAZE Live FL Primary Results Chat Replay)

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Mitt Romney routed Newt Gingrich in the Florida primary Tuesday night, rebounding from the previous week’s defeat with a commanding victory and taking a major step toward the Republican presidential nomination. Despite the one-sided setback, Gingrich vowed to press on.
“Thank you FL!” an exuberant Romney tweeted minutes after the race was called. “While we celebrate this victory, we must not forget what this election is really about: defeating Barack Obama.”
Returns from slightly more than half of Florida’s precincts showed Romney with 47 percent of the vote, to 33 percent for Gingrich.
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum had 13 percent, and Texas Rep. Ron Paul 7 percent. Neither mounted a substantial effort in the state.
The winner-take-all primary was worth 50 Republican National Convention delegates, by far the most of any primary state so far.
But the bigger prize was precious political momentum in the race to pick an opponent for Democratic President Barack Obama this fall
That belonged to Romney when he captured the New Hampshire primary three weeks ago, then swung stunningly to Gingrich when he countered with a South Carolina upset 11 days later.
Now it was back with the former Massachusetts governor, after a 10-day comeback that marked a change to more aggressive tactics, coupled with an efficient use of an overwhelming financial advantage.
About half of Florida primary voters said the most important factor for them was backing a candidate who can defeat Obama in November, according to early exit poll results conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks.
As in early contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, that mattered more than experience, moral character or conservative credentials.
Not surprisingly, in a state with an unemployment rate hovering around 10 percent, about two-thirds of voters said the economy was their top issue. More than 8 in 10 said they were falling behind or just keeping up. And half said that home foreclosures have been a major problem in their communities.
Gingrich swept into Florida from South Carolina, only to run headlong into a different Romney from the one he had left in his wake in South Carolina.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, shed his reluctance to attack Gingrich, the former House speaker, unleashing hard-hitting ads on television, sharpening his performance in a pair of debates and deploying surrogates to the edges of Gingrich’s own campaign appearances, all in hopes of unnerving him.
Restore our Future, an outside group supporting Romney, accounted for about $8.8 million in the ad wars, and the candidate and the “super PAC” combined outspent Gingrich and Winning The Future, the organization backing him, by about $15.5 million to $3.3 million, an advantage of nearly 5-1.
Gingrich responded by assailing Romney as a man incapable of telling the truth and vowed to remain in the race until the Republican National Convention next summer. He won the endorsement of campaign dropout Herman Cain and increasingly sought the support of evangelicals and tea party advocates, a former House speaker running as the anti-establishment insurgent of the party he once helped lead.
Bombarded by harsh television advertising, some Floridians said they had soured on both candidates.
“The dirty ads really turned me off on Mitt Romney,” said Dorothy Anderson, of Pinellas Park, adding she was voting for Gingrich. She said of Romney, “In fact if he gets the nomination, I probably won’t vote for him.”
At the same polling place, Romney supporter Curtis Dempsey expressed similar feelings but about Gingrich. “The only thing Newt Gingrich has to offer is a big mouth,” he said.
Voters frequently say they are offended or appalled by negative ads. But polls show consistently that the commercials are able to sway the opinions of large numbers of voters, and they are a staple of nearly all campaigns.
Santorum had no money for television ads to back up his strong debate performances. He left the state at one point, saying he was going home to Pennsylvania to prepare his income tax returns. But he stayed longer than anticipated, because of the hospitalization of his 3-year-old daughter with pneumonia. The girl has a rare genetic disorder, Trisomy 18.
Santorum and Paul both campaigned in Colorado on Tuesday as Florida Republicans were voting. The state has caucuses on Feb 7, the same day as Minnesota.
Even before that come caucuses in Nevada, a state that Romney won when he sought the nomination in 2008 and is favored to capture again.
By contrast, both Romney and Gingrich campaigned across Florida on primary day as the polls opened.
Exuding confidence, the former Massachusetts governor said – even though the figures said otherwise – that he had been outspent in South Carolina.
“I needed to make sure that instead of being outgunned in terms of attacks, that I responded aggressively, and hopefully that will have served me well here,” he told reporters.
Gingrich, combative as usual, said the race for the nomination won’t be decided until summer, “unless Romney drops out.”
More than 600,000 Floridians voted before the polls opened, either by absentee or early ballot, exceeding the figure from four years ago, and raising the possibility of a record turnout. Vote totals in the three contests to date – Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina – have all been records.

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 8:03pmthe definition of insanity…. doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result…… looking like this country is starting to fit that definition….. go ahead, vote for the status quo, big government progressives (i.e. gingrich, obama), or big government fip flopper (i.e. romney), or big government establishment neocon republican (i.e. santorum)…… you’d think the last bit of the g.w. bush presidency and the entire obama presidency would have taught the majority that we need a new direction that actually is serious about following the constitution….. anyone that votes romney, gingrich, santorum or obama has no business, ZERO business complaining about the state of our republic, because i said at the beginning of my post, this country has reached a point of insanity….. alot of people have woken up to the idea of individual liberty, limited government, and actually adhering to the constitution, but i’m afraid not enough people have……

Why Not Rick Santorum?
If Mitt wins 3
http://fathersmind.blogspot.co...
Very insightful
One of the lessons conservatives must learn should Governor Romney win Florida and go on to win the nomination is to start early to plan and to coalesce around a figure or figures that would run. It seems that the conservative movement thought that a leader would rise and find acceptance by all. Most conservatives I know are almost as threatened by the prospects of a Romney presidency as they are by an Obama second term. The Any body but Obama phenomena would loose 50% steam right after the primaries, if Romney wins.
Politics has a myopic sight problem. It only allows one to see now, not even two years ahead. In 2008, the right wing of the GOP would easily have taken Mitt Romney over John McCain in a heart beat, but this year, Romney is almost a political anathema of Obama proportions to them.
Only a handful of political leaders laid proper ground work for a presidential run. Of course that is one thing Governor Romney has done right. So if Romney wins, Conservatives will rue their inability or short sighted error of not preparing for what was obvious all along. And this is why in as much as I love and respect Michelle Malkin, Mark Levin, Glen Beck and many others, their point in endorsing Santorum makes moral sense, but is nothing but political naïveté. (How dare I say so of my heroes)

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 9:51pmCIRCLEDWAGONS. Talking about Paul and his endorsement of “one of them” … in 2008, most people assume that Paul endorsed Libertarian candidate Bob Barr in 2008, which is partially true. However, that is not the entire story. Paul also endorsed three other candidates. The first of those was Chuck Baldwin. He haD been on record early and often in support of the proposition that the South should have won the Civil War. This sort of thing would ordinarily disqualify most normal people from endorsing Chuck Baldwin, but Ron Paul is not most normal people. And given what most Ron Paul supporters seem willing to forgive, a little Confederate sympathy (or even a lot of Confederate sympathy) seems like small potatoes.
The second was Cynthia McKinney. Ron Paul endorsed Cynthia McKinney in 2008. For those who do not know, Cynthia McKinney is a certifiably insane anti-American anti-Semitic lunatic. She first came to widespread public attention when she was arrested for punching out a member of the capitol police who tried to stop her when she wasn’t wearing her pin. Cynthia McKinney is so crazy that she got defeated in a primary by a guy who thought Guam might tip over and capsize. McKinney was once arrested by the Israelis while trying to give aid to Hamas and penned a bizarre anti-American and anti-Israeli screed.
The fourth was Ralph Nader.The same Ralph Nader who also longs for the day when the last vestiges of capitalism have died in America.
Yeah RP what a guy.

Posted on February 1, 2012 at 9:46amBeck went out f his way to support Romney using Sol Alinski tactics the same way that Romney does. Somehow Beck missed the fact that Romney (on TV) proclaimed his support for having young teen girls get abortions without their parents knowing as long as the government approved. If Newt had ever said such a thing, he would have been hounded by Beck and all the other celebrity and TV network supporters of Romney. This makes me presume that all these celebrities are OK with young girls getting abortions without parents consent as long as they had government consent. This is so over the top that I don’t see how anyone can simply say they changed their mind and now think it is wrong.

Here is what Washington said about facing your enemy. British then, Terrorist now.
“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.”

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 11:37pm@thesurrealconservative – Not one thing you aimlessly just typed is true or correct. At all. None of it. Ron Paul is only a spokesperson from the revolution. It is actually you and your ilk that bow to the Kings of today with different titles. Between the die hard Dumbocrats and the Death For Jesus Republitards what gets spit out from both sides are ridiculous and baseless lamentations like you have just written.

Report Post »Probably for the same reasons Reagan did, and if you get all your history from Glenn you are getting a narrow view.
Roosevelt, according to Reagan, was a strong leader, one to emulate in certain respects. He had taken over the presidency during a time of unprecedented crisis and implemented a plan of action to bring the nation out of its doldrums. Reagan fondly recalled FDR’s Fireside Chats, which were designed to give hope to the people. “His strong, gentle, confident voice resonated across the nation with an eloquence that brought comfort and resilience to a nation caught up in a storm and reassured us that we could lick any problem. I will never forget him for that.” As governor of California later, Reagan had to deal with a Democratic legislature. “It occurred to me that I had an opportunity to go over their heads.” How? He used radio and television to communicate directly with the people of California, a tactic he traced back to FDR’s Fireside Chats, which, he commented, “made an indelible mark on me during the Depression.”
Babeuf
Posted on January 31, 2012 at 11:39pmCont…
As president, Reagan often mentioned his admiration for FDR’s spirit of leadership. On a trip back to his alma mater, Eureka College, in 1984, he reminded his listeners what it was like to experience the Great Depression, and how the Fireside Chats had been so reassuring. “All of us who lived through those years,” he instructed them, “remember the drabness the depression brought. But we remember, too, how people pulled together, that sense of community and shared values, that belief in American enterprise and democracy that saw us through. It was that engrained American optimism, that sense of hope Franklin Roosevelt so brilliantly summoned and mobilized.” In his view, FDR was instrumental in reviving an inherent American optimism that was endangered by the economic crisis.
Twice he spoke at events honoring Roosevelt. The first was in 1982. He had visited the FDR exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution, then returned to the White House for a luncheon that included the Roosevelt family. Naturally, when speaking in front of someone’s family, one avoids comments critical of a loved one. The speech was instead a tribute to FDR’s leadership. Reagan called him “one of history’s truly monumental figures,” “an American giant, a leader who shaped, inspired, and led our people through perilous times,” one who could “reach out to men and women of diverse races and backgrounds and inspire them with new hope and new confidence in war and peace.”
