Mitt Romney's Big WIn in Florida Escalates the Anti-Mitt Race

Mitt Romney dealt a massive blow to Newt Gingrich yesterday in Florida's primary.  The 14-point victory is a big ego boost to the Romney campaign.  It also needs to be noted that the victory was not vindication that Romney is a better candidate when it comes to substance on the issues - he's not.  The win is proof that although nobody likes negative ads, they are effective, whether they're lies or not.  In Florida, Romney spent 94% of his $17 million on negative attack ads on Newt Gingrich to stifle his momentum from the South Carolina victory.  Most of the ads were patently false, as we've noted many times.  We now know that Romney has the will, be it by attacking his opponents, to do anything to win the nomination.  That being said, though, the race is far from over.
