George Will: "[Romney] is, I think the inevitable nominee, but in Florida turnout was down 14% over 2008. Granted, in 2008 there was a ballot initiative that may have pumped up -- still, enthusiasm seems to be down.
"In Nevada, where it's really ground zero for the pain of the economic downturn, you would have thought that enthusiasm for the Republicans would be up, down again there.
"The Romney people have always said 'we're not counting on enthusiasm to produce winning, we're counting on winning to produce enthusiasm' and I don't see that happening yet. Now the second place candidate, Newt Gingrich, has no debate, which is his strength, until February 22nd. In the South, he's already lost the biggest Southern state in Florida. He's not even on the ballot in his adopted home state of Virginia. I think this is over."
