What Happens Next in Florida

Tonight Newt Gingrich won South Carolina's Republican primary. Now the top three Republican presidential candidates have one state each, but many media outlets still believe Mitt Romney will win Florida and the nomination. So what does Romney have going for him and how can Gingrich surpass him? Money...
According to Ceasar, campaigns need lots of money to compete in Florida. Romney has the money (read previous post), but Gingrich has the momentum and new pro-Gingrich Super PACs could start saturating the Florida media market before Florida's primary (January 31st). However, Florida has already started early voting, and who knows how many Florida Republicans have already committed their votes to Romney.... Here's the latest early voting stats from the Florida Division of Elections.
