Romney Expected To Win Florida Primary 
---------------------------------------



Voting has begun in the closely watched Florida Republican primary.
Polls suggest former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney will easily win
today's vote, securing the state's 50 delegates in the winner-take-all
primary. On Monday, Romney continued to attack his chief rival, Newt
Gingrich.

Mitt Romney: "I think the real reason he hasn't done so well connecting
with the people of Florida is the people actually saw him in those
debates and listened to his background and experience and they learned
for instance that he was paid $1.6 million to be a lobbyist for Freddie
Mac. And they said that's not what we want in the White House. What was
that back there? Send him to the moon, he says. Well, the idea of the
moon as the 51st state is not what would come to my mind as a campaign
basis for here in Florida."
