Thomas B. Edsall goes through the Florida exit poll numbers and concludes: "The Republican Party looks increasingly likely to pass the torch to a candidate powered by decidedly un-Republican constituencies: anti-Bush voters, the non-religious, supporters of abortion rights, and social-cultural moderates." Another interesting number: McCain won 51 to 15 among Latino Republican voters. One more tidbit from Edsall's piece: While Florida technically is a "closed" primary, meaning only registered party members can vote, political scientist Nolan McCartney points out that "17 percent of the Republican primary voters identify as independents and McCain carried them handily." It's not that difficult to change your registration in the days before a closed primary, in other words. All in all, Romney probably will win more than a few states on Super Tuesday, places where traditionally conservative voters dominate. But probably it also won't be enough, as demographer William Frey points out, to counteract McCain's likely dominance in the large, coastal states.
