Florida

John McCain won Florida. Yet once again, McCain did not win amongst self-identified Republicans. Incredibly, McCain leads the race for the Repubican nomination without having won amongst self-identified Republicans anywhere.

Super Tuesday will decide a lot in this race.

Rudy Giuliani dropped out of the race. He was considered the front-runner for months, but his actual support didn't amount to much. This illustrates the foolishness of determining "electabilty" based on national polls taken before the race has been conducted. At least the GOP still won't nominate an openly pro-abortion candidate.

Another factor that probably hurt Rudy but hasn't been discussed much is that most Americans don't like New Yorkers that much. Fortunately for Hillary, that won't be a problem for her.
