Romney wows 2,500 in Ormond Beach

ORMOND BEACH -- With a nation eager to see how Mitt Romney would respond a day after his crushing second place finish in South Carolina to Newt Gingrich, the roar of 2,500 strong here tonight at the Allstar Building Materials lumberyard was just the kind of boost the GOP frontrunner needed as the focus turns to Florida's Jan. 31 primary.

Romney spoke a mere 15 minutes, spending three times as much time working the crowd: shaking hands, signing autographs and hearing the praises of the Republican faithful.

NSB News will have much more coverage as the evening progresses.
