McCain Is Walking on Sunshine, Wins Florida; Giuliani's a Goner
John McCain edged out Mitt Romney in Florida's GOP presidential primary on Tuesday, with Rudy Giuliani placing a distant third in what was an up-or-out race for him. The bottom-line: McCain and Romney are now essentially in a head-to-head, find-those-delegates face-off. It could be decided next week on Supersaturated Tuesday; it could go to the Republican convention at summer's end. Questions to consider: will the GOP establishment sue for peace with McCain? Will social cons be pushed by anti-McCain conservatives (paging, Rush Limbaugh!) to drop Mike Huckabee, who placed fourth in Florida, and swing behind Romney to stop McCain?
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton beat Barack Obama in a primary not recognized by the Democratic National Committee, which has declared it will not award any delegates to the victor in Florida. We'll just see about that, the Clinton campaign has said. Nevertheless, the Florida primary, as of now, is mostly about the GOPers--especially Giuliani. The deli vote just wasn't enough for him.
We'll have more on the Florida primary in a while....

No mention of Ron Paul?
His signs were everywhere, his foot soldiers were thick as fleas? 3% - he must have been robbed or the Paultards have all the political acumen of a student council election expert!
Must be a HUGE conspiracy!

Congratulations, Mr. McShameful. You out to be proud of yourself for the desperate smear campaign that you ran in the final days of the Florida campaign. You've obviously figured out that a smear gets quicker results than all that hard work, money, and campaigning do. I heard a quote the other day that said that you "would not take the low road to the high office", so much for that promise. I did a little research and figured out why McShameful always sides with the Democrats, he's ignorant and stupid. Why are we electing a man that graduated in the bottom 5 of his naval academy, cheated on his wife, and hasn't learned to control his wreckless anger, foul mouth, and behavior at the fine old age of 71? The Democrats always team up with McShameful because he's an easy target to convince on these bills (McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Liebermann). This Arizonan will not be casting a vote for this sorry sap excuse of a candidate. Wake up America and do your research and quit voting for a name brand.
