Somebody thats got good judgment, sound mind and clear thinker and not afraid to state his opinion. >> republican party leaders in tallahassee report primary voters this year, set records over 2008 in both absentee and early votes, and they say that shows a highly energized florida g.o.p. ready to put this state back into the the red column in november. outside of tampa, phil keating, fox news. >> and please join megyn kelly and me 8 p.m. eastern for coverage of the florida primary. well have th...

Before. i think it really breaks down to turnout, and in the different parts of the state, in the northern part of the state, um, there are really diehard conservatives. they tend to break towards newt gingrich one would think according to the polls going in. if turnout expands, and already in the early voting there are some 600,000 either early voting or absentee, if its -- and thats 100,000 more than 2008. if it expands, you know, newt gingrich could close the gap for these early polls that su...

As you know, you can vote early here in florida, you can vote absentee in florida. scotts put a lot of money into that, same way that romney did. gingrich organizationally just could not do that so on election day today, gingrich already starts out in the hole because of the early votes. >> its amazing, its my understanding rick scott sent direct mails to snowbirds in cincinnati. anyway, thats how much he was trying to win that back in that september primary. jeff zeleny, jonathan martin, our no...

Thats why two of the candidates, santorum and paul, have already left the state looking down to nevada and maine and missouri in the future. you need 1144 delegates to secure the nomination, and the republican rules, and this is 50 delegates at stake helping in a big chunk to get along the way. jon? jon: and, phil, you have to wonder with 600,000 people having voted early, youve got to wonder if any of them, you know, might have changed their minds after mailing their ballots. >> reporter: yeah....

No matter what happens, thats usually not a good sign. >> lets look at the numbers. after tonight, only 5% of the delegates will have been picked at all. we do have a long way to go for anybody to get to that magic number for 1,144. and considering the history of gingrichs rises and falls, what incentive does he have to get out at this point in time? anyway, finally, lets talk about the primary tonight by the numbers. well be watching turnout, of course. 633,000 votes have already been cast in t...

Newt gingrich, what do you tell them? >> i think he will likely stay through march 6th, super tuesday. you have a number of states where he feels he has an advantage in and he woman to see that through. hes won one state. the question is whether or not he can get a real campaign off track. hes off message, talking about moon colonies. the romney campaign is much more in place. they probably have a 100,000-vote lead in florida before voting opens because of the absentee and early vote program. gi...

Have been watching, of course, how many votes are already banked, how many voted by absentee or early voting? maybe as much as like one in three of all the votes already done. is early voting something that is done throughout florida? any place in florida where that means most of the -- most of the votes are banked or something thats sort of a statewide phenomenon? >> the more banked voters should be, as far as romney supporter, all our polling and other polling, romney does better early voters,...

Victory.rich by 15 points. across the board lead. romney beats gingrich in electability but also with voters that care about issue position and leads among those whose values are most important and voters who choose experience as the top quality. more than $24 million has been spent on ads in florida. 16 million of that by romney and his soup pac and it accomplished its goal. gingrich is so unacceptable to many conservatives that when santorum is taken out of the mix, hes at 16% in our poll, rom...
