Just thirty minutes after the Republican Primary polls closed in Florida Tuesday, Mitt Romney took to the stage to give his victory speech in front of a full room of supporters.

“Thank you all,” Romney said, “To the people of Florida tonight, thank you for this great victory.”

In his victory speech Romney choose not to go after his other Republican appoints, but choose instead to focus his attacks on the white house and President Barack Obama.

Romney said: “Leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses. In another era of American crisis, Thomas Paine is reported to have said, ‘Lead, follow, or get out of the way.’ Mr. President, you were elected to lead, you chose to follow, and now it’s time for you to get out of the way.”

Romney took home 46 percent of the vote in Florida as compared to second place finisher Newt Gingrich at 32 percent.

In response to members of the media speculating that he may drop out of the race, Gingrich said: “So, I just want to reassure them tonight, we are going to contest every place, and we are going to win.”

Rick Santorum and Ron Paul, finished third and fourth respectively.

Gingrich did however, get more support than Romney did from people who classified themselves as “very conservative.” According to CNN’s exit poll Gingrich got 41 percent, to Romney’s 30 percent.

Romney greatly improved his reputation with Latino voters. According to CNN’s exit poll 54 percent of Latinos voted for Romney, this is up from 14 percent in the 2008 Republican Primary.

The Florida primary saw the continuation of big spending on political adds.

Including “Supper PACs” Romney’s campaign spent around $13.3 million on adds, while runner up Gingrich’s campaign spent around $2.5 million according to CNN.

Supper PACs are a new kind of political action committee who has the ability to raise and spend unlimited funds on a candidate, according to opensource.org.

According to CNN, 93 percent of TV adds in Florida were “negative.”

With the win in Florida, Romney receives 50 delegates, which puts his total number of delegates at 84. Gingrich currently has 27, Paul has 10 and Santorum has 8. To receive the Republican nomination a candidate needs to have 1,144 delegates.

The next stop on the campaign trail for the candidates will be Nevada, for the Feb. 4 caucuses.
