So Mittens had the Florida primary sewn up by 8 PM apparently, and now we have a month with no debates and several smaller caucuses up until Arizona and Michigan at the end of the month, and Super Tuesday on March 6th.
I don't see the Non-Romneys going too much further past Super Tuesday, frankly. Shame too. I was really hoping for an ugly primary season.
Now it's still possible that it could go on. Newt especially has a lot of ego and could get the fundraising once Santorum leaves...but I doubt it. Mitt just has too much money and he sent a clear message that he has the juice to swamp anyone who goes up against him in the primary.
On the other hand, it's looking like Romney can't top 50% even when he's basically running unopposed. Santorum and Paul left the state days ago, and Mitt outspent Newt by more than 6 to 1. Mitt still couldn't crack 50%.
He should get used to that 47% number in Florida, I think.
