<p>          Gingrich: This is a two person race        </p>
<p>        STORY HIGHLIGHTS      </p>
<p>                      Gingrich vows to stay in race up to the Republican        convention                Former House speaker says GOP nomination contest        between him, Mitt Romney                Gingrich says campaign will be a battle of &#8220;people        power&#8221; against &#8220;money power&#8221;
<p>    Orlando, Florida (CNN) &#8212; After a bruising 10    days in Florida, Newt Gingrich wasn&#039;t conceding anything to    Mitt Romney following his devastating, momentum-shifting loss    in the state&#039;s primary.  </p>
<p>    Instead, Gingrich appeared to be more emboldened to be the    conservative alternative to Romney, as the campaign for the    Republican nomination enters a stretch of low-stakes contests    in February.  </p>
<p>    In a speech Tuesday night, when it was clear that Romney had    routed the former House speaker, Gingrich didn&#039;t congratulate    his opponent; he didn&#039;t even utter his name. Nor did he make    the traditional congratulatory phone call to Romney after it    became clear he wouldn&#039;t be able to follow his win in South    Carolina with another in Florida.  </p>
<p>    Instead, he vowed to continue his campaign all the way to the    Republican convention, speaking behind a podium with a sign    that read &#8220;46 states to go,&#8221; to drive home the point to those    who question his campaign&#039;s viability that he&#039;s staying in the    race.  </p>
<p>    &#8220;I just want to reassure them tonight, we are going to contest    every place, and we are going to win, and we will be in Tampa    as the nominee in August,&#8221; he said of the &#8220;elite media&#8221; and the    Republican establishment who fear that Gingrich&#039;s attacks on    Romney could produce a fractured party going into the general    election against President Barack Obama.  </p>
<p>    &#8220;It is now clear that this will be a two-person race between    the conservative leader, Newt Gingrich, and the Massachusetts    moderate,&#8221; he said of Romney.  </p>
<p>    That was dialing it back a bit from the vitriol he had    expressed for his opponent in previous days. Reacting to    damaging words from Romney and attack ads by groups supporting    Romney, Gingrich had questioned Romney&#039;s honesty &#8212; at various    times referring to his opponent as &#8220;fundamentally dishonest,&#8221;    Romney&#039;s attacks as &#8220;breathtakingly dishonest,&#8221; and his answers    in two strong debate performances as &#8220;blatantly dishonest.&#8221;  </p>
<p>    So the race for the Republican nomination now appears to be a    grudge match between the two.  </p>
<p>    &#8220;There is bad blood,&#8221; said CNN contributor and RedState blogger    Erick Erickson.  </p>
<p>    &#8220;I think it&#039;s about two guys who don&#039;t like each other, but    it&#039;s also about a Republican base who&#039;s sitting back saying    we&#039;re talking about Mitt and Newt not ironically as the    potential nominee, and people aren&#039;t excited about those. So    you&#039;ve got these underlying people who aren&#039;t really excited    about either one, both of them trying to get them excited about    them. And they don&#039;t particularly like each other either. &#8221;  </p>
<p>    Despite his convincing win in South Carolina, Gingrich entered    Florida with a significant handicap. He surged into contention    in November and December, which didn&#039;t give him enough time to    build a strong organization in Florida, unlike Romney, who    started building his last summer.  </p>
<p>    Gingrich had not even stepped on stage to deliver his victory    speech in South Carolina before aides were already playing up    Romney&#039;s advantage in Florida.  </p>
<p>    By then, early voting in Florida was under way. Over 100,000    ballots had already been cast before Gingrich claimed South    Carolina, and thousands more absentee ballots were on their way    back to Tallahassee.  </p>
<p>    Romney had apparently learned his lesson from allowing    Gingrich&#039;s strong debating skills to put him on his heels in    South Carolina. He and his surrogates, like John McCain, the    party&#039;s 2008 nominee, and political action committees that    supported Romney, went on the attack &#8212; questioning Gingrich&#039;s    ethics, his stability and his electability against Obama.  </p>
<p>    Romney&#039;s deep pockets and those of the super PACs supporting    him also outspent Gingrich and his supporters 5-1 on television    ads in a diverse state with 10 media markets, which shaped    voters&#039; view of Gingrich.  </p>
<p>    But it also fueled Gingrich&#039;s anger toward the attacks directed    at him, which Campaign Media Analysis Group determined to be    the most negative political campaign ever. CMAG&#039;s analysis    determined that 92% of ads airing in Florida over the past week    were negative.  </p>
<p>    In his speech on Tuesday, Gingrich vowed that his campaign    would be a battle of &#8220;people power&#8221; against &#8220;money power.&#8221;  </p>
<p>    Gingrich hopes to parlay conservatives&#039; mistrust of Romney&#039;s    convictions to the nomination, but he still faces competition    for the conservative vote from former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick    Santorum, who also shows no signs of getting out of the race.  </p>
<p>    The Gingrich campaign is tempering expectations for contests in    Nevada and Michigan &#8212; Romney is favored to win both &#8212; and    largely banking on contests in March in Georgia, Tennessee and    Alabama.  </p>
<p>    He flew overnight to Nevada so he can speak at a rally in Reno    on Wednesday afternoon. He is expected to campaign in the state    until voters caucus on Saturday.  </p>
<p>    Santorum decided early on that he couldn&#039;t compete in Florida&#039;s    media wars and instead decided to draw a battle line in Nevada.    The state&#039;s caucus on Saturday is similar to that in Iowa,    where he scored a surprising win in the opening contest of the    campaign.  </p>
<p>    For his part, Santorum congratulated Romney for his win on    Tuesday but then condemned the ugly tone of the Florida race,    encouraging his opponents not to engage in a &#8220;mud wrestling&#8221;    match in which everyone gets dirty.  </p>
<p>    Despite fears that a Gingrich-Romney grudge match would produce    a damaged candidate in the fall, at least one conservative    thinks a tough primary campaign will produce a better    candidate.  </p>
<p>    Drawing a parallel to the 2008 Democratic race, in which Obama    and Hillary Clinton contested the race deep into the primaries,    Ralph Reed said that Obama emerged &#8220;a tougher, a better and a    more disciplined candidate in the general (election) because of    her.  </p>
<p>    Reed also found parallels in Republican contests.  </p>
<p>    &#8220;We&#039;ve all seen this movie before. This is a recurrent drama    within the Republican Party that goes all the way back to the    Eisenhower-Taft battle at the convention in &#039;52. It reaches its    crescendo with Goldwater-Rockefeller. Then it&#039;s replayed again    with Reagan and Ford in &#039;76. They go all the way to the    convention,&#8221; he said.  </p>
<p>    &#8220;The fact is, there&#039;s nothing but good out of a muscular,    competitive, hard-fought primary, as long as you can reconcile    at the convention.&#8221;  </p>

<p>    Gingrich had not even stepped on stage to deliver his victory    speech in South Carolina before aides were already playing up    Romney&#039;s advantage in Florida.  </p>
<p>    By then, early voting in Florida was under way. Over 100,000    ballots had already been cast before Gingrich claimed South    Carolina, and thousands more absentee ballots were on their way    back to Tallahassee.  </p>
<p>    Romney had apparently learned his lesson from allowing    Gingrich&#039;s strong debating skills to put him on his heels in    South Carolina. He and his surrogates, like John McCain, the    party&#039;s 2008 nominee, and political action committees that    supported Romney, went on the attack &#8212; questioning Gingrich&#039;s    ethics, his stability and his electability against Obama.  </p>
<p>    Romney&#039;s deep pockets and those of the super PACs supporting    him also outspent Gingrich and his supporters 5-1 on television    ads in a diverse state with 10 media markets, which shaped    voters&#039; view of Gingrich.  </p>
<p>    But it also fueled Gingrich&#039;s anger toward the attacks directed    at him, which Campaign Media Analysis Group determined to be    the most negative political campaign ever. CMAG&#039;s analysis    determined that 92% of ads airing in Florida over the past week    were negative.  </p>
<p>    In his speech on Tuesday, Gingrich vowed that his campaign    would be a battle of &#8220;people power&#8221; against &#8220;money power.&#8221;  </p>
<p>    Gingrich hopes to parlay conservatives&#039; mistrust of Romney&#039;s    convictions to the nomination, but he still faces competition    for the conservative vote from former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick    Santorum, who also shows no signs of getting out of the race.  </p>
<p>    The Gingrich campaign is tempering expectations for contests in    Nevada and Michigan &#8212; Romney is favored to win both &#8212; and    largely banking on contests in March in Georgia, Tennessee and    Alabama.  </p>
<p>    He flew overnight to Nevada so he can speak at a rally in Reno    on Wednesday afternoon. He is expected to campaign in the state    until voters caucus on Saturday.  </p>
<p>    Santorum decided early on that he couldn&#039;t compete in Florida&#039;s    media wars and instead decided to draw a battle line in Nevada.    The state&#039;s caucus on Saturday is similar to that in Iowa,    where he scored a surprising win in the opening contest of the    campaign.  </p>
<p>    For his part, Santorum congratulated Romney for his win on    Tuesday but then condemned the ugly tone of the Florida race,    encouraging his opponents not to engage in a &#8220;mud wrestling&#8221;    match in which everyone gets dirty.  </p>
<p>    Despite fears that a Gingrich-Romney grudge match would produce    a damaged candidate in the fall, at least one conservative    thinks a tough primary campaign will produce a better    candidate.  </p>
<p>    Drawing a parallel to the 2008 Democratic race, in which Obama    and Hillary Clinton contested the race deep into the primaries,    Ralph Reed said that Obama emerged &#8220;a tougher, a better and a    more disciplined candidate in the general (election) because of    her.  </p>
<p>    Reed also found parallels in Republican contests.  </p>
<p>    &#8220;We&#039;ve all seen this movie before. This is a recurrent drama    within the Republican Party that goes all the way back to the    Eisenhower-Taft battle at the convention in &#039;52. It reaches its    crescendo with Goldwater-Rockefeller. Then it&#039;s replayed again    with Reagan and Ford in &#039;76. They go all the way to the    convention,&#8221; he said.  </p>
<p>    &#8220;The fact is, there&#039;s nothing but good out of a muscular,    competitive, hard-fought primary, as long as you can reconcile    at the convention.&#8221;  </p>

		<description><![CDATA[ Now it&#039;s up to the voters. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
<p>    Now it&#039;s up to the voters.  </p>
<p>    A whirlwind day of appearances across Florida on Monday marked    the end to a slashingly negative, nine-day campaign that could    propel Mitt Romney to the Republican nomination    or keep Newt Gingrich&#039;s hopes alive.  </p>
<p>    Neither side has let up. Gingrich and Romney raced from event    to event, maintained their harsh attacks, and deployed    grassroots campaign organizations to turn out voters on    Tuesday.  </p>
<p>    The final frenzy comes on the heels of a campaign that has    generated intense interest among voters. As of Monday, 632,513    Florida Republicans, or 16 percent of those    registered, had cast absentee ballots or gone to early voting    sites. The state party said that&#039;s 100,000 more than in 2008 —    a 19 percent increase even though Republican registration is up    just 6 percent in the last four years.  </p>
<p>    &#8220;People can sense that Florida&#039;s going to be important,&#8221; said    Justin Sayfie, a Fort Lauderdale        lawyer and co-chairman of Romney&#039;s Florida campaign. He was a    top aide to former Gov. Jeb Bush and publishes the Sayfie Review    political news website.  </p>
<p>    Because Florida is a big state, with a diverse population    that&#039;s voting early, it&#039;s &#8220;absolutely critical in the    nomination race,&#8221; said Nicol Rae, a political scientist at    Florida International University.  </p>
<p>    In the final 72 hours of the campaign, Gingrich made 14 stops    and Romney eight — all in an attempt to get Florida&#039;s most    valuable political commodity: free exposure on local television    news shows. Each started in Jacksonville and fanned across    Republican strongholds in northern and central Florida.  </p>
<p>    Florida is a mega-state with 10 media markets and more    Republicans than the combined total of the three earlier states    on the presidential nominating calendar — Iowa, New Hampshire    and South Carolina. That means in-person campaigning isn&#039;t    enough to win. Television ads and news coverage are critical,    Sayfie said.  </p>
<p>    With Rick Santorum and Ron Paul low in the polls, low in    organization and low on money, neither has mounted a major    effort in Florida as the race has evolved into a two-man    contest.  </p>
<p>    Neither Romney nor Gingrich let up on the negativity. Romney    repeated his charges that voters are turning away from Gingrich    because of his troubles as House speaker in the 1990s and his    more recent role as an adviser to mortgage giant Freddie Mac, which Romney has blamed in    part for the nation&#039;s housing crisis.  </p>
<p>    Gingrich slammed Romney as a liberal. &#8220;Why would anybody in the    establishment think that a Massachusetts moderate, which is a    liberal by Republican standards, pro-abortion, pro-gun control,    pro-tax increase, pro-gay rights, why would they think he&#039;s    going to be able to debate Barack Obama?&#8221;  </p>
<p>    Political scientist Kathryn DePalo at Florida International    University said Gingrich can be expected to do well with more    conservative voters in north Florida and the Panhandle and    Romney should do well in South Florida, home to more moderate    Republicans.  </p>
<p>    That makes central Florida&#039;s Interstate 4 corridor pivotal. &#8220;If Romney    wins big there, he wins the state big. If Gingrich can make    some inroads there, the outcome will probably be a little    closer.&#8221;  </p>
<p>    The campaign started on Jan. 22, the day after Gingrich won the    South Carolina primary. It ended with the latest polling    showing Romney had a 43 percent to 29 percent lead over    Gingrich. The Quinnipiac University poll of Florida    Republican likely voters released on Monday showed Paul and    Santorum each had 11 percent. Neither was in Florida on Monday.  </p>
<p>    Quinnipiac found Romney leading Gingrich across key Republican    voting blocs: conservatives, white evangelical Christians, and    tea party members.  </p>
<p>    And Gingrich is feeling the effect of the withering attacks    from Romney and his surrogates. His unfavorable shot up to 42    percent on Monday. On Friday, it was 28 percent.  </p>
<p>    Still, Gingrich has a glimmer of hope. Though only 7 percent    were undecided, 24 percent of voters surveyed said they might    change their minds.  </p>
<p>    Local volunteers are working to shore up support for their    candidates.  </p>
<p>    County Commissioner Steven Abrams, the Palm Beach    County chairman of Gingrich&#039;s campaign, said the    get-out-the-vote efforts are coming down to the kind of    traditional techniques used in local elections, such as    street-corner sign waving and phone calls to voters.  </p>
<p>    The appeals will continue throughout Tuesday. &#8220;To let up before    the polls close is like walking the last 10 feet of a    hundred-yard dash,&#8221; Abrams said.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
<p class="first">    There’s been one constant thus far in the remarkably volatile    Republican contest: Each time Newt Gingrich rides a wave of    anti-establishment energy to the front of the field, he hits a    wall as the attacks on him mount and voters start sounding out    the words “President Gingrich.” It seems to be a    self-correcting equation for Republicans, who seem to    continually elevate Gingrich the insurgent, only to demote    Gingrich the frontrunner.  </p>
<p>    Just a week ago, the former speaker, riding high from his    South    Carolina win, had     pulled iinto the lead in the Florida polls. But Monday,    he&#039;d fallen     20 points behind Romney.  </p>
<p>    After an initial burst of momentum when he entered the race,    Gingrich quickly faded&nbsp; before rocketing to the front of    the field again at the end of November, when his debate    performances electrified the many Republicans who had yet to    succumb to the non-phenomenon the Onion memorably dubbed    “Romneymania,” On December 1, Gingrich, atop    the Iowa and national polls, outright proclaimed that “I am    going to be the nominee.” A month later, he finished fourth in    Iowa and then fourth a week later in New Hampshire before    beginning his latest surge in South Carolina, followed closely by    his Florida fade.  </p>
<p>    Analysts pointed to two key reasons that Gingrich keeps    seesawing in the affections of Republican primary voters. While    Romney is the face of a well- funded and -staffed campaign with    “traditional fundamentals,” said Republican strategist Rob    Collins, a partner at Purple Strategies, Gingrich is a    effectively a one-man show. Collins compared the speaker’s    campaign to Pets.com, the famed 90s dotcom company that had a    hugely successful IPO based on hype and wildly optimistic    projections before rapidly falling to earth and into    bankruptcy. That leaves Gingrich “only as good as [his] last    press release,” said Collins.  </p>
<p>    Dan Schnur, John    McCain’s communications director on his 2000 campaign,    said support for Gingrich’s campaign is inherently volatile.    “Gingrich does best when he is building off a strong debate    performance,” said Schnur, who called those performances    “Gingrich’s only protection against the Romney’s paid media    blitz.” By turning in two mediocre performances at the Florida    debates, Gingirch again lost that protection.  </p>
<p>    In Iowa, nearly 50% of all the political ads that aired in the    months before the caucuses were anti-Gingrich, according to a    report from Bloomberg News, pouncing on the former    speaker’s old consulting contracts with Freddie Mac and his    deviations from the party line on health care and global    warming. The speaker’s poll numbers collapsed, and Romney again    began signaling “inevitability” by pivoting toward the general    election and President Obama.  </p>
<p>    But after Gingrich rose up again in South Carolina, even the    Iowa assault has seemed mild compared to the ongoing one in    Florida.    In the past few days, establishment figures across the    conservative movement have attacked Gingrich, ranging from    Bob Dole to Ann Coulter The front page of the Drudge    Report seems to have turned into an extended arm of the Romney    press shop, pumping out opposition research about how the    former House Speaker criticized Ronald Reagan, lied in the    previous debates and is generally unfit and unelectable. Romney    surrogates have started freelancing in their efforts to score    the snappiest anti-Gingrich one-liner, with John McCain saying    Thursday, “I think we should send Newt Gingrich to the moon and    Mitt    Romney to the White House.” McCain then asked the    audience: “Is that a good line? I just thought of it.”  </p>
<p>    Hank Sheinkopf, a Democratic consultant who helped tear down    Gingrich for Bill Clinton’s 1996 re-election campaign, when the    president tried to make the unpopular speaker into the face of    the Republican party, said, “there is no Republican Party.”    It’s been replaced, he said, by “a bunch of factions,” which he    said opens up a space for Gingrich to run as “an    anti-establishment candidate like Reagan, Nixon or Goldwater,”    as Republican voters use the primary to work out what they want    their party to be.  </p>
<p>    But in this primary season, Republicans seem to change their    mind about their vision for the party on a weekly basis. Over    the past 90 days, the dips and trades in Gingrich’s poll    support have had more peaks and valleys than the pockmarked    lunar surface of which he is so fond.  </p>
<p>    Gingrich has built the ultimate modern campaign, based entirely    on the rhythms of political journalism. If he does not “win the    morning” with an attention-grabbing sound bite, he has lost the    day. After his weak debate performances here and again under    heavy fire from Romney, Gingrich is conceding he’s likely to    lose Florida but vows that he’ll remain in the race through the    convention. But with no more debates for nearly a month for to    sustain his fourth-time around insurgent phase, it will    be tough for him to keep the show going, let alone orchestrate    a fourth act as frontrunner. And even if he should pulls off    another rise, his last three trips to the top suggest it’s a    safe bet he won’t hold that ground.  </p>

		<description><![CDATA[ NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Mitt Romney&#039;s strength may be growing, but he won&#039;t secure the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday, even if he scores a convincing victory in Florida&#039;s primary. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
<p class="first">
    NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Mitt Romney&#039;s strength may be growing,<br />
    but he won&#039;t secure the Republican presidential nomination<br />
    Tuesday, even if he scores a convincing victory in Florida&#039;s primary.
  </p>
<p>
    His rivals have vowed to keep fighting well beyond the Jan. 31<br />
    election. But win or lose in Florida, the Romney machine is<br />
    already executing an aggressive multi-state strategy designed<br />
    to suffocate his opponents&#039; chances as the GOP contest moves<br />
    forward. And some Republicans say it&#039;s time for Romney&#039;s rivals<br />
    to give up.
  </p>
<p>
    &#8220;By traditional measures, a big Florida win for Romney would<br />
    mean that this thing is just about wrapped up,&#8221; said Todd<br />
    Harris, a Washington-based Republican strategist with Florida<br />
    ties. &#8220;Most Republicans think it&#039;s time to stop the infighting<br />
    and start taking the campaign straight to President Obama.&#8221;
  </p>
<p>
    Florida polls showed that Newt Gingrich briefly surged into the<br />
    lead following his South Carolina victory just nine days ago.<br />
    That lead is gone, according to an NBC News/Marist poll<br />
    published Sunday. Romney now has support from 42 percent of<br />
    likely Florida primary voters, compared with 27 percent for the<br />
    former House speaker.
  </p>
<p>
    But even before he reclaimed the momentum in this rollercoaster<br />
    race, Romney&#039;s advisers were looking ahead.
  </p>
<p>
    There are seven elections in February, beginning with Nevada&#039;s<br />
    caucuses Saturday. A series of lower-profile contests —<br />
    including a non-binding Missouri caucus — come over the next<br />
    week in Colorado, Minnesota and Maine. They&#039;re followed<br />
    by a 17-day break, which ends with primaries in Arizona and<br />
    Michigan on Feb. 28.
  </p>
<p>
    The mid-month break, bookended by states considered favorable<br />
    to Romney, presents significant challenges for the other<br />
    candidates, who trail Romney in both money and organization.
  </p>
<p>
    &#8220;I think the biggest thing to keep an eye on is that<br />
    two-and-a-half-week down time between the 11th and the 28th,&#8221;<br />
    said Romney political director Rich Beeson. &#8220;If you don&#039;t have<br />
    momentum and resources coming into it, it&#039;s going to be hard to<br />
    have momentum and resources coming out of it.&#8221;
  </p>
<p>
    Romney has consistently dominated his opponents in fundraising,<br />
    reporting $19 million in his campaign account at the end of<br />
    December. And his campaign distributed paid staff on the ground<br />
    — months ago, in some cases — to bolster a growing network of<br />
    local supporters. They include a combined 380 Republican<br />
    officials across February voting states, eight members of<br />
    Congress among them.
  </p>
<p>
    Romney&#039;s advisers — and unaffiliated Republicans — see a<br />
    widening path to victory beyond Florida.
  </p>
<p>
    &#8220;A lot of the contests are states he won four years ago. Some<br />
    of them are big primary states like Michigan. Arizona, we<br />
    didn&#039;t get to in 2008, but we think that&#039;s good, fertile<br />
    territory for us,&#8221; said Romney senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom.<br />
    &#8220;Other states — Colorado, Minnesota, Maine — these are all<br />
    contests we won in the past, where Mitt still retains a strong<br />
    base of support.&#8221;
  </p>
<p>
    The optimism is backed by reality on the ground.
  </p>
<p>
    While his opponents have struggled to compete in one state at a<br />
    time, Romney has had paid staff in Nevada since June. He has<br />
    already begun advertising there. More recently, the campaign<br />
    dispatched staff to Colorado and Arizona. Top New Hampshire<br />
    surrogates are headed to Maine in the coming days.
  </p>
<p>
    And Romney is scheduled to campaign across Nevada, Colorado and<br />
    Minnesota before next Saturday, according to Fehrnstrom.
  </p>
<p>
    He&#039;s not the only one looking ahead. Texas Rep. Ron Paul is<br />
    skipping Florida altogether in favor of the less-expensive<br />
    February states. Rick Santorum — who&#039;s dealing with his<br />
    daughter&#039;s illness — this weekend abandoned plans to campaign<br />
    in Florida in favor of Missouri, Minnesota, Colorado and<br />
    Nevada.
  </p>
<p>
    But building momentum in those states alone will be difficult.<br />
    And Republicans with no stake in the campaign agree that Romney<br />
    has tremendous advantages.
  </p>
<p>
    &#8220;You&#039;ve got one campaign with vastly superior resources across<br />
    the board,&#8221; said Washington-based Republican strategist Phil<br />
    Musser, adding that fundraising will be an increasingly<br />
    daunting challenge for Romney&#039;s competitors should he win<br />
    Florida.
  </p>
<p>
    Outside help from so-called super PACs could be ending as well.<br />
    Gingrich&#039;s recent rise was aided by a wealthy supporter who<br />
    recently funneled $10 million to an outside group dedicated to<br />
    helping him.
  </p>
<p>
    &#8220;For super donors, the romantic period is over,&#8221; Musser said<br />
    before offering a warning. &#8220;If we&#039;ve learned anything from this<br />
    cycle, it&#039;s that there aren&#039;t many crystal balls that are<br />
    clear.&#8221;

  <!--googleon: all--><br />
  MIAMI &#8211; The Republican presidential rivals courted influential<br />
  Hispanic voters in South Florida on Friday with promises to<br />
  improve immigration laws and focus on Latin America, as a new<br />
  poll suggested that Mitt Romney is regaining his edge in the<br />
  first mega-state to deliver a decision.</p>
<p>
    A survey by Connecticut-based Quinnipiac University &#8211; conducted<br />
    just days ahead of Tuesday&#039;s primary voting &#8211; found Romney<br />
    leading the once-surging Newt Gingrich by 38 percent to 29<br />
    percent in what has become a two-man race, though former<br />
    Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum picked up the endorsement of<br />
    the Latin Builders Association after he and Gingrich spoke to<br />
    the group.
  </p>
<p>
    Romney and Gingrich appeared hours apart before a crowd at the<br />
    center-right Hispanic Leadership Network, where Sen. Marco<br />
    Rubio (R., Fla.) preceded them onstage. They largely refrained<br />
    from the sharp attacks that have defined the campaign, though<br />
    they continued to disagree on what to do with the estimated 11<br />
    million people who live in the United States illegally.
  </p>
<p>
    Without mentioning a Gingrich attack ad that the campaign<br />
    withdrew after complaints from Rubio, Romney sought to defend<br />
    himself from the ad&#039;s accusation that he was &#8220;anti-immigrant.&#8221;
  </p>
<p>
    &#8220;We are not anti-immigrant. We are not anti-immigration,&#8221; said<br />
    Romney, who during Thursday night&#039;s debate had called the<br />
    suggestion &#8220;repulsive&#8221; as he aggressively hit back at Gingrich.<br />
    &#8220;We are the pro-immigration, pro-legality, pro-citizenship<br />
    nation.&#8221;
  </p>
<p>
    He and Gingrich clashed sharply at the debate, but Romney<br />
    appeared Friday to be riding a wave from his pull-no-punches<br />
    performance, and he seemed relaxed and jovial before the<br />
    Hispanic group, which gave him sustained rounds of applause and<br />
    a standing ovation when he pledged to &#8220;help Cuba become free.&#8221;
  </p>
<p>
    He also said he would appoint a presidential envoy responsible<br />
    for democracy and freedom in Latin America.
  </p>
<p>
    He defended his call for those who are in the United States<br />
    illegally to be given a temporary status and then return to<br />
    their home countries to apply for citizenship.
  </p>
<p>
    &#8220;Other people call that self-deportation,&#8221; he said, adding,<br />
    &#8220;We&#039;re not going to go out and round up people in buses and<br />
    send them home.&#8221;
  </p>
<p>
    Gingrich sought to draw a line of distinction, saying he had a<br />
    &#8220;big disagreement&#8221; with Romney. Gingrich, who had mocked<br />
    Romney&#039;s mention of &#8220;self-deportation&#8221; at Monday&#039;s debate in<br />
    Tampa, said that &#8220;a very significant number&#8221; of &#8220;young,<br />
    unattached&#8221; undocumented immigrants would go back to their<br />
    countries and apply for a guest-worker program under Romney&#039;s<br />
    proposal.
  </p>
<p>
    &#8220;Self-deportation in fact works for those groups,&#8221; he<br />
    acknowledged, but not for everyone. &#8220;The idea that a<br />
    grandmother is not going to be supported, the idea that she&#039;s<br />
    going to self-deport.. . . This is not a solution.&#8221;
  </p>
<p>
    With Hispanics one of the fastest-growing voting blocs, some<br />
    Republicans, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, have<br />
    cautioned against harsh anti-immigration rhetoric. Gingrich<br />
    acknowledged that he didn&#039;t think sweeping immigration change<br />
    was possible, given the failures of previous Republican and<br />
    Democratic administrations.
  </p>
<p>
    Such legislation, he said, would face &#8220;too many enemies.&#8221;
  </p>
<p>
    Romney picked up the endorsement Friday of Puerto Rico Gov.<br />
    Luis Fortuno, a key asset in reaching Puerto Rican Republicans<br />
    in Central Florida.
  </p>
<p>
    He told the Hispanic Leadership Network hours before the<br />
    endorsement that he hoped Puerto Ricans would follow Fortuno&#039;s<br />
    lead and vote for statehood for the island.
  </p>
<p>
    Santorum, along with his traditional stump-speech pledges to<br />
    lower taxes and roll back Obama regulations, told the story of<br />
    his grandfather, an Italian immigrant who worked in<br />
    Pennsylvania coal mines until he was 72.
  </p>
<p>
    &#8220;Those were the hands that dug freedom for me in America,&#8221; he<br />
    said, praising Miami&#039;s Cuban American community for its<br />
    &#8220;passion for freedom.&#8221;
  </p>
<p>
    Santorum then vowed to take a hard line against any alliance<br />
    between Iran and Venezuela, which he described as &#8220;Cuba Part<br />
    B.&#8221; Although he&#039;s lagging in the polls, Santorum&#039;s speech won<br />
    over the builders&#039; board.
  </p>
<p>
    &#8220;We are most interested in supporting a candidate that is going<br />
    to reinvigorate the economy,&#8221; said Bernie Navarro, the Latin<br />
    Builders Association&#039;s president.
  </p>
<p>
    Romney pursued a two-track strategy Friday. While he engaged<br />
    President Obama over policy and refrained from sharp criticism<br />
    of his rivals, surrogates went on the attack.
  </p>
<p>
    Florida&#039;s Bush blasted Gingrich for criticizing Romney&#039;s hiring<br />
    of former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist&#039;s staffers, calling the<br />
    criticism &#8220;ridiculous.&#8221; Crist left the GOP to run as an<br />
    independent against Rubio in 2010. Rubio won.
  </p>
<p>
    &#8220;That&#039;s not a serious accusation,&#8221; Bush told National Review<br />
    Online about Gingrich&#039;s allegations. &#8220;Candidates win elections.<br />
    I&#039;m not a big Charlie Crist fan, as you recall, but these guys<br />
    shouldn&#039;t have that moniker attached to them, as if Gov. Romney<br />
    is part of some evil plot.&#8221;
  </p>
<p>
    The latest Quinnipiac poll suggests that Romney, who has more<br />
    money than Gingrich and has been able to hammer him in a series<br />
    of attack ads, is opening up a considerable lead over Gingrich.
  </p>
<p>
    The poll, conducted Tuesday through Thursday among 580 likely<br />
    Republican primary voters, had Texas Rep. Ron Paul at 14<br />
    percent, followed by Santorum at 12 percent. It has a margin of<br />
    error of 4.1 percentage points.
