The man said he chose Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, because his knowledge of business and finance should equip him to tackle America's economic ills. Plus, added his companion, Mr Romney has a better chance than the other candidates of beating Barack Obama come November. It was not just the sleekly wealthy, however, who plumped for Mr Romney. A few miles away, beneath towering motorway viaducts on the fringes of Little Havana, a grizzled Cuban-American in a Panama hat also declared that Mr Romney was the most electable candidate. That helps to explain Mr Romney's lopsided victory in Florida: he took 46% of the vote, more than his two closest rivals, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, put together. The result sets the race for the nomination back to its default state for most of the past year, with Mr Romney as the presumed nominee.
