While Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich made their final push in Florida and Rick Santorum focused on connecting with the Tea Party in Nevada, Ron Paul has been doing things his way: casually campaigning in Colorado, preparing for his 55th wedding anniversary tomorrow, and calling on the Gingrich campaign to apologize to one of his fans.

Pau, who spent two days this the week in Maine, began the day with a 10 a.m. town hall meeting in Fort Collins, another town hall in Denver, and a 2 p.m. whistle stop in Colorado Springs. He then flew to Nevada and had a "Nevada Campaign Call to Arms" in Henderson, a suburb of Las Vegas.

His campaign also took the time to demand an apology from the Gingrich campaign for its staff's treatment of a Paul supporter at an event in Florida. "They say the culture of an organization is a reflection of its top executive and today’s deplorable behavior against Ron Paul supporter Eddie Dillard in Florida reflects very poorly on Congressman Gingrich," the campaign wrote. Dillard's foot was stepped on rather aggressively.

Tomorrow is Paul's 55th wedding anniversary with his wife Carol. They'll spend it campaigning until 3 p.m., after which there are no events on the schedule. For a candidate who's in it until the convention whether he wins or loses, there's no rush.

TAMPA, Florida—Mitt Romney is expected to win in Florida tonight by a large margin, according to the exit polls that will be used to call the race an hour from now, when polls close on the Panhandle. (UPDATE: Romney has indeed defeated Gingrich by double digits.)

Tonight’s results appear set to answer one question: Who will be the Republican nominee?

It now seems clear that the man taking the stage at the Republican National Convention in August at the Tampa Bay Times Forum will be Mitt Romney. Period. Finito. Game over.

Romney is the only candidate with the money and organization to go all the way, and nothing to date has changed that. His opponents are all struggling for their political lives, while his own campaign is stronger than ever despite weeks of attacks.

In fact, he finally seems to be enjoying life on the campaign trail, letting his enthusiasm shine through the polished exterior.

But tonight’s vote also leaves several questions to be answered in the months and weeks ahead.

(Reuters / BRIAN SNYDER)

Does Newt Gingrich want to be Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin?

Gingrich and Romney are blood enemies right now, and it's hard to imagine someone who accused his rival of snatching kosher food from Holocaust survivors standing beaming on the stage beside him tomorrow.

But wait a week.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama exchanged harsh attacks, and undisguised ill-will, through the long spring of 2008. But after a round of painful negotiations, Obama's old rival became his most effective advocate and ultimately his Secretary of State. Her very criticism had made her a more valued supporter.

This race appears set to end earlier than the 2008 primary, and Gingrich now faces the choice Clinton did in May and June: Does he start toning down the attacks in preparation for a rapprochement? Or does he just keep swinging.

It's not too late for Gingrich to be a conservative standard-bearer in Romney's camp, explaining the profound and meaningful things he and his old rival have in common, and the deep and frightening differences between Romney and Obama. But Gingrich is also near the point of no return, and of exile to the political space now occupied by a fading Sarah Palin: Toast of talk radio and of some conservative leaders, commanding hefty speaking fees, but banned from the corridors of Republican power.

Watch Gingrich's concession speech tonight for a glimpse at which path he chooses.

Does Rick Santorum want to be Tim Pawlenty or Newt Gingrich?

With Gingrich burning out fast, Santorum may find himself the last man standing. He's raised and saved money effectively, and met a wave of sympathy in response to dropping off the trail to care for his sick daughter, Bella.

When he returns to battle for conservative votes in Nevada, he will choose — in his comments to the media and his television ads — how hard he wants to attack Romney. Is he trying to find the pebble that will slay Goliath? Or just trying to enhance his own stature, with a view to a post in the Romney Administration?

Though Santorum has tangled effectively with Romney over health care and other issues, he remains well this side of the line that Gingrich now straddles; after tonight, he needs to decide what he's running for.

Ron Paul refused to engage in the squabble over Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich's involvement with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac tonight, saying "that subject really doesn't interest me a whole lot. The question is what are we going to do about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac."

But his campaign has other ideas. Directly before Paul said that, the campaign sent out a press blast slamming Gingrich, Romney and even Rick Santorum on issues related to Fannie and Freddie.

Titled "Three of a Kind: The Fannie/Freddie Insider Connection," the email picks apart the other three candidates one by one, saying that "we know Gingrich was a paid lobbyist for Freddie Mac," that Santorum's response on Freddie Mac at the last debate was "anything but true," and that "Romney’s closest advisers were in on the Freddie Mac deals!" It also includes photos.

Paul seemed, at times late last year, to be a traditional candidate in sync with a relatively traditional campaign.

Those days seem to be over.

"The key secret to using soda in cakes is to create a syrup out of it; boil it and reduce to about 25 to 30 percent, until it’s nice and thick – you can use that in place of some of other liquid in the batter recipe. You can also use it in the icing, but you only need a little bit; otherwise it will become runny."
