Newt Gingrich, the former House of Representatives Speaker. Returns from 98 per cent of Florida's precincts showed Romney with 46 per cent of the vote, to Gingrich's 32 percent.Gingrich, who created a major upset in the previous South Carolina primary, had polled over 4.25 lakh votes against Romney's 6.3 lakh votes with more than two-thirds of the votes counted in Florida, which was by far the largest of the first four nominating contests. After his impressive victory, 64-year-old Romney launched a frontal on Obama, accusing him of adopting a weak foreign policy and also creating a weak military."President Obama believes that our role as leader in the world is a thing of the past. He's intent on shrinking our military capacity at a time when the world is facing rising threats. I will insist on a military so powerful no one would ever think of challenging it," he said. "President Obama has adopted a policy of appeasement and apology. I will speak out for those seeking freedom, and I will stand shoulder to shoulder with our friends around the world," said the former Governor of Massachusetts.
