Romney commanding 47 percent of Fla. vote so far
Mitt Romney won a commanding victory in the Florida primary tonight, rebounding from defeat a week earlier and taking a major step toward the Republican presidential nomination. Despite the one-sided result, Newt Gingrich vowed to press on.
NY Times calling it for Romney in Fla.
Mitt Romney won the Florida primary Tuesday 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 states with upcoming contests.
Romney holding comfortable lead in Fla., with 34 percent counted
Mitt Romney jumped to a commanding lead in the Florida primary tonight, rebounding powerfully from the previous week's defeat and reaching for a resounding victory over Newt Gingrich in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
