phil keating follows up this morning live in tampa, florida. omney's victory speech was not the only victory speech, phil? what happened? >> reporter: that was somewhat after surprise last night, bill. good morning to you. he received two congratory calls, one from rick santorum and ron paul. not from newt gingrich. typically the victor goes out to the crowd and addresses the crowd last. last night it was mitt romney coming on 30 minutes after the polls closed in florida, giving a boisterous and festive speech to florida republican supporters. up the corridor in orlando, about 45 minutes avram romney that's when newt gingrich came out delivering yet another victory speech hitting on obama like he is the eventual nominee saying florida defeat by romney of 14 points absolutely not a crushing blow to the gingrich campaign. >> no, not after iowa, or new hampshire. you know i called him after south carolina, congrat lated him and he welcomed that call. but then he didn't call last night. by the way, rick santorum and ron paul and i talk after each ca

phil keating in florida. jon: so much was unknown about space flight when he took off. what a hero.e are getting new information about a deadly avalanche in washington state. it happened nor a popular resort in the cascades 80 miles north of seattle. three expert skiers killed in that massive slide. a fourth managed to survive thanks to a new high-tech airbag. >> at one point after the avalanche they are all buried in the snow. they manage to dig themselves out of the snow. at that point they realize that three of them are in distress, three of the skiers are in distress. they begin cpr, at the same point they are calling 911 to try to get help to them. the skiers began cpr on three males, unfortunately it was not successful and those three skiers died at the scene. jon: what a sad story. adam housley joins us live with an update from los angeles. >> reporter: this happened about noon yesterday at the stevens pass ski resort area 80 miles or so north and east of seattle, a very popular place for people in the northeast to go skiing. it had some significant sut thaa moment. wt happen

for details once again, phil keating is delighted that the primaries in florida, this is his last morningp really, really early. >> it's been a pleasure every morning. yes, mitt romney rolling to a 14-point commanding comeback after his upset in south carolina beating newt gingrich by a good 14 percentage points. and santorum only pulling in 13% while watching the results from las vegas where the caucus begins on saturday. romney triumphant as he greeted a crowd of several hundred people and his speech certainly was partly to address all of his florida republican support but it was also, you could see it, somewhat of a rough draft for a speech that he expects to give back at the national convention as nominee to face off against president obama. that speech really for the entire american electorate. >> as this primary unfolds our opponents in the other party have been watching and they like to comfort themselves with the thought that a competitive campaign will leave us divided and weak. but i've got news for them. a competitive primary does not divide us, it prepares us. and we will win.

santorum came in third, ron paul in fourth and our own phil keating is up bright and early again for il. >> good morning. yeah, strong 14-point victory for mitt romney. a great comeback for him after the big upset in south carolina by newt gingrich but it was not to be had two times in a row for gingrich here in florida. and the lesson for everybody around the country and florida represents a lot of the country when it comes to demographics, politics, ethnicity, a lot of money, millions and millions of dollars and a carpet bombing of negative tv attack ads can win an election. mitt romney and the pac supporting romney spent about $20 million, much of it over the past 10 days bombarding newt gingrich for being a house speaker who resigned in disgrace. gingrich could not match that by far being upset about 4 or 5 to 1. mitt romney last night, that speech was really a speech to the entire country. it was as if he was already assuming the mantle of the republican nomination in late august here in tampa. here is romney and he had a message for the president. >> as this primary unfolds, our

national correspondent phil keating is live for us from miami. , the former chief uses words like irrational, unjustified. he has some strong feels about this. >> reporter: absolutely. edward wiler is certainly not alone here. there is a lot of backlash as early word has been leaking out about the $18 billion roughly requests unveiled by nasa this monday. in it the early word here is that hundreds of millions of dollars are going to be cut from planetary exploration and that means mars. only the united states of course has been onto the martian planet surface with the mars rover which still sits there. so for many this is prestige issue for the united states. these cuts likely mean nasa backing out of commitments already in place with europeans for mars missions in 2016 and 2018. even more in doubt is the long range mars plan and very expensive plan to use three spacecraft to blast off from earth, get to mars mtid samples and blast offnd ren to earth which has never been done before. jenna: phil, as we take a look at some of this animation that we
