It’s January 31st and it’s over. Mitt Romney has blown away the field in the Florida primary and is now the de facto Republican 2012 nominee for president.

So what does everyone do? Huge armies of “embeds” and reporters and producers and “analysts” and bloggers and talking heads have been amassed to cover the campaign. They work at cable television networks, broadcast networks, web-sites, magazines, newspapers and radio stations. And they have been spending money faster than all those dreary people in accounting can count it.

A win this epic in Florida is hard to contest. Had Gingrich done better tonight it would’ve been a bit of a dogfight.
