This will be quicker than my usual diaries but with 98% of the vote it is clear without a doubt that Republican turnout will be down almost 300,000 votes or roughly 15%. The fact is the major success of Mitt Romney's ads was not to get people to vote for him but to convince Republicans not to vote for Newt Gingrich. This is a great contrast because in South Carolina, where Newt was riding high. Republican Turnout was up by almost 25%, but when Romney won, the turnout cratered. Florida is a state Republicans have to win to win the White House, and operation burn to crisp is not the way to do it. This is a very good night because of the turnout. Now lets just win in Oregon.
