Mitt Romney Wins Florida Primary
Mitt Romney has won the Florida Republican Presidential Primary, strengthening himself as the clear favorite to win the 2012 Republican nomination and face President Barack Obama in November. Florida is a winner-take-all state, so 50 delegates go to Mitt Romney, which is the most so far this primary season. Newt Gingrich finished in a distant second, losing all the momentum that his campaign has gained recently. Newt Gingrich has said that he plans to stay in the race until the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida in August. Rick Santorum finished third and Ron Paul finished fourth.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has been a perennial flavor-of-the-week for the Republican Party since winning his seat in 2009. The charismatic governor’s name was tossed around as potential Republican presidential nominee throughout the last year.
