Voting has begun in the closely watched Florida Republican primary. Polls suggest former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney will easily win today’s vote, securing the state’s 50 delegates in the winner-take-all primary. On Monday, Romney continued to attack his chief rival, Newt Gingrich.

Mitt Romney: “I think the real reason he hasn’t done so well connecting with the people of Florida is that people actually saw him in those debates and listened to his background and his experience, and they learned, for instance, that he was paid $1.6 million to be a lobbyist for Freddie Mac. And they said, ’That’s not what we want in the White House.’ I—what was that back there? 'Send him to the moon,' he says. Well, the idea of the moon as the 51st state is not what would have come to my mind as a campaign basis for here in Florida.”
