This isn't saying much, but (though hackish), this is - by far - Romney's best speech yet.

Yeah, he is really adding some flourish to the standard GOP talking points

Hey, I said it wasn't saying much. The highest praise that I'd have for this is "not robotic."

Is Paul going to speak? MSNBC said he would, which is odd, since he did not even try here. No reason to concede or anything like that.

Yeah, but he gets like 20 minutes of free airtime to excoriate the Fed and discuss the virtues of Austrian economics.

They are waving "46 States to Go" signs at the Gingrich event. He's not even on the ballot in all of the other states. LOL.

You phrased that incorrectly; should read, "46 states to go, and he's even on the ballot in many of them!"

Gingrich flanked by wife, Callista, and daughter, Jackie, both born in 1966.

GOP turnout looks like 1.85 million compared with 1.95 million in 2008.

In fact, only SC so far had more turnout than 2008. IA, NH, FL are all down.

121501 > 118696

248475 > 239793

And all the votes in Florida are not in yet.
