Romney Widens Lead

While Jeb Bush refuses to endorse. 

With one day before the Florida primary, Mitt Romney is rapidly putting distance between himself and Newt in the polls. A Reuters poll on Sunday showed Romney with a 12 point lead over Gingrich in the state, while three other polls show Romney ahead by 11 to 15 points. Gingrich continues to slam Romney at campaign stops, calling him a pro-abortion, pro-gun control, pro-tax increase moderate from Massachusetts,” but Romney is reportedly outspending Gingrich 5-to-1 in television ads, according to data a Democratic source showed Talking Points Memo. Meanwhile, Gov. Jeb Bush is standing on the sidelines, despite Romney aggressively courting him for an endorsement.
