Romney, finally, wins top spot with young voters in Florida landslide

I hate to say I told you so, Wes, but it appears I did with Monday's post arguing that Florida's young people were poised to buck the Paul flavor and catapult Romney to nominee status. I kid, of course! You were just being smartly cautious...as this may be Romney's only outright win with young people.

Defeating Gingrich by a double-digit margin for the Florida prize, Romney has regained momentum, as FOX News and The New York Times report, in his pursuit of the GOP nomination. 

Early data suggests that Romney - for the first time in this primary cycle - led with the critical millennial demographic. CNN exit polls also show Romney leading over Paul by 13% in the 18-29 bracket. At the same time, we should not overstate youth enthusiasm, even among Republicans, for Romney. The current, if tentative projection, is that young people only represented a 5% share of the vote.

This is a short post, to which I'm sure you'll retort tomorrow morning. The next two contests, both caucuses, are in Nevada and Maine: Wes, will Romney exploit his Florida "Big Mo"to connect with a majority of youthful caucus-goers in those quite ethnically disparate states?
