Mitt Romney’s convincing win in the Florida primary on Tuesday has put him firmly back in front of the race for Republican presidential nominee.

Before then hundreds of delegate votes are up for grabs, with the Nevada and Maine caucuses taking place tomorrow (4 February), Colorado and Minnesota caucuses on the 7th, primaries for Arizona and Michigan on the 18th, the Washington state caucus on 3 March, and Super Tuesday, this year falling on 6 March.
