Three GOP Winners So Far; Will It Be Five?

Republicans face the prospect of five "front-runners" for the party's presidential nomination after Floridians vote in that state's primary. The prospect comes after Mitt Romney's impressive win in his home state of Michigan, a win that solidifies his role as the front-runner among the front-runners with 42 convention delegates. Mike Huckabee, winner in Iowa, is second in the delegate count. John McCain, who won New Hampshire, is third.

Here's the possible scenario that could find the GOP with five front-runners: Fred Thompson, who has said he must win South Carolina, does win it there, and Rudy Giuliani, who needs a win somewhere, wins Florida as some polls indicate he is in position to do. That would make five different candidates with signficant victories in the primary process going into Super Tuesday.
