Mitt Romney is expected to win the Florida primary, despite Newt Gingrich literally promising Florida voters the Moon. Romney has been campaigning in Florida with Sen. John McCain, who beat him for the 2008 Republican nomination.

Ron Paul, who didn't campaign in Florida at all, is coming in behind the two frontrunners, followed by Rick Santorum.

Florida has... shall we say... a bit of a history with election shenanigans, so go ahead and bookmark the Florida Division of Elections' Election Fraud information page.
