Romney wins big in Florida...

Romney walked away from the Florida primary last night with more votes than Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum combined.

The speeches by the candidates after the winner was announced were interesting, especially after how nasty the campaign was. Mitt Romney didn't mention Newt once during his speech and Newt never mentioned Romney.

In his speech, Newt made a lot of very bold statements about what he would do, day one, if he were to be elected. It was all good stuff. Getting rid of all the czars and throwing out obamacare were the big ones to me.

Romney was gracious. His speech was about what you would expect from him. My biggest concern with Romney is that none of the plans that he has laid out are bold. It's hard to imagine what a Romney presidency would look like. Bold is what we are going to need to recover from the hell of the obama era.

Rick Santorum gave a nice speech. I have to admit, my first impressions of him were wrong. He seems to be a good guy that truly cares about this Country and putting us back on a path to greatness. It's too bad he doesn't have the money or the boots on the ground to make this a real race.

Ron Paul came in fourth with about 7% of the vote. His speech was good too. You have to give it to the guy. He has a following of some very dedicated people. If, by some weird turn of events, he became the nominee, I would vote for him. Foreign policy... dang, other than that and a few odds and ends, I could really like the guy.

We are on to Nevada this week. Let's hope that these guys can spend a little more time talking about the real issues instead of kicking each other in the nuts...
