Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson

The focus of the media on Tuesday in the Florida Republican primary, but they may not personally like President Obama's bigger problem facing Republican voters across the country. A more important question, in the long run, if the fracture and split the Republican Party, regardless of the nominee is able to win in November.

Vote in Tuesday's Florida primary show former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has a leading position, pull about 41% of the vote, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich 29%. Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum third, about 14%, and Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who is running a substantial decline in Florida's voting campaign, about 10% of the vote.

However, across the country, Romney's figure is almost none. In fact, Gingrich led Romney 30.3 to 27.5 percent, and Santo Roma, 16.3%, 12.8%, and Paul.

With the ups and downs, twists and turns into a Republican campaign has taken so far, what these figures tell the astute political critic do?

1. Republicans suffered a severe identity crisis. Bush's Republican brand damage, first proposed in the 2006 midterm elections when the Democrats won the congressional elections of appearance. Obama and Biden from the republic in 2008, another impact. If the President does not botched his 2009 health care debate process, it is possible, because we know it today did not get tea party power, the Republican House of Representatives in 2010 Dailing acquisition. But with the Congress is much lower than the president, Republican presidential candidate would eventually find his party's own brand luggage drag.
