After losing to Newt Gingrich in the South Carolina primary, Mitt Romney came back strong in Florida, winning 47 percent of the vote. Gingrich, on the other hand, only got 27 percent of the vote, a disappointing showing for the former Speaker of the House.
Philly.com did a much better job of covering this race than the South Carolina race, even sending political reporter Thomas Fitzgerald to the Sunshine State. Without live tweeting, however, there was a bit of a delay in the exit polls report. Philly.com also covered the standard AP wire stories and had a few blog posts on the race.
According to Fitzgerald, Romney won "virtually every voter group, except those who describe themselves as 'very conservative.'" Gingrich's concession speech did not sound like he had given up. "We are going to contest every place, and we are going to win,"
he said.
