Tampa, Fla.

Fewer than 24 hours before polls open for the Republican primary, Newt Gingrich was joined by Herman Cain and Michael Reagan for a relatively small campaign rally. A fraction of the Tampa Jet Center’s large hangar was cordoned off for the crowd of about 400, a number far short of the few thousand Gingrich has been receiving at similar events across Florida in the last week. The Tampa event was the third of five stops in each corner of the state on a busy Monday for the Gingrich campaign.

Gingrich took the stage over an hour late, following Reagan and Cain’s warm-up acts. “Tomorrow is a really, really big day,” he told his cheering audience.
