Eight states have weighed in so far in the Republican presidential race, but more than six in 10 votes of the votes cast so far have come from Florida Republicans. Popular votes don't determine the nominee, of course, but Romney is sitting pretty if you look simply at the number of votes cast so far.

The four major candidates have received about 2.7-million votes out of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida, Nevada, Minnesota, Colorado, and Maine and Florida accounted for 1.65-million of the votes. According to the RealClearPolitics tally, Romney has won 42 percent of the votes cast, Newt Gingrich 31 percent, Rick Santorum 16 percent, and Ron Paul 11 percent.

The significance of this? Not a whole lot. So far Romney's big win in Florida has failed to translate into momentum in subsequent states, while Santorum started surging after a relatively weak Florida showing.
