Another one bites the dust
With over 90% of the votes counted in Florida it looks like John McCain is a 5-point winner. More important to the story is the rumor that Rudy Giuliani is going to drop out and endorse McCain.
Since Mike Huckabee had another poor showing and may not last much beyond Super Tuesday next week, the race appears to be between tonight’s winner and runner-up Mitt Romney. All those voters who may have supported Rudy could follow his endorsement into the McCain camp, making him nearly unbeatable.
Thus, it looks like Maryland will not be playing much of a role in determining who the President would be. Even though Romney has the support of some party leadership in Maryland (both of our RNC representatives have endorsed Mitt), it was a state that would have likely been one of Rudy’s strongest had he stayed in (as he had Governor Ehrlich’s endorsement early on) so one would guess that we will tip toward McCain as well.
While rumors of dropping out have been proven premature before in this campaign, Rudy Giuliani had a strategy of making his stand in Florida. Unfortunately for the mayor, he was flattened by the “Straight Talk Express” and now has to face questions about why he adopted such an abysmal battle plan in the race.

So, Michael.. what do you think about the idea of drafting Newt that is floating around (I saw it on http://www.WorldNetDaily.com)
His http://www.americansolutions.com/ platform looks pretty agreeable to both sides (well… to the non-fringe elements, anyway)
I just can’t deal with McCain or Romney, and I’m sure I’m not alone.
I got fairly excited about a Newt candidacy early on. Though he wouldn’t be my ideal candidate, he’s head and shoulders (the parts that count) above Mitt and Mac.
