Coming off huge victories in Florida and Nevada, Mitt Romney has taken the undeniable front-runner spot in the GOP primary.  But, the real news is after months of looking for a “non-Romney”, it seems the tea party has begun to embrace the former Massachusetts Governor.

After losing to Newt Gingrich in South Carolina, a stellar debate performance propelled Romney to double digit victory in Florida.  This was a turning point in the race that began to see the Governor fading out after a disappointing showing the week prior.

The sentiment in Florida amongst voters the favor the tea party was positive for Romney.

Out of the 66 percent of Florida voters who said they supported the small-government Tea Party movement, 41 percent cast their ballots for Romney and 38 percent for Gingrich, according to the data compiled for U.S. news organizations.

That momentum carried into Nevada this past weekend.  Romney’s strong organization on the ground resulted in another huge victoryin The Silver State.

Conservatives accounted for around 4 in 5 voters Saturday as Nevada Republicans chose their presidential candidates, a poll of people entering the caucuses showed, tying Iowa as the most conservative group of GOP voters so far this year.

Around 3 in 4 Nevada voters said they were tea party supporters, according to preliminary results of the survey. That was the highest proportion of the five states that have now held their GOP presidential contests.

The overwhelming conservative turnout delivered Mitt a 50.1% majority and a head of steam entering the February caucuses.

But, despite the recent success, Mitt is not out of the water.  There is still a chance that Rick Santorum can once again rise in the polls if Gingrich continues to falter.  The best opportunity for Santorum is today in the non-binding Missouri primary.  There he will be head to head with Romney as Gingrich failed to make the ballot.

This primary is not over by a long shot but we are starting to see more clarity after every primary and caucus.  If Romney can continue to deliver and convince tea party voters he will govern with their interests in mind, the long battle to take back the White House may begin sooner rather than later.
