Based on exit poll data and preliminary returns, NBC News projects that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will win the Florida primary, which was limited to only registered Republican voters. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the winner of the Jan. 21 South Carolina GOP primary, will finish a distant second, followed by former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum in third, and Texas Rep. Ron Paul in fourth.
