Senator Clinton won Florida today, but that doesn't mean anything because the Democratic National Committee stripped Florida of its delegates when FL got all pushy and moved up its primary before Super Tuesday. Florida did that to make themselves more important, but the DNC just got pissed and decided they'd have none of that. So the Democratic candidates all pledged that they wouldn't campaign in FL until the election today was over, so Senator Clinton announced that she would begin campaigning essentially as soon as the polls closed. Which she did. I mean, she did win.
Murph says that Florida is basically where New York goes when it retires (actually he said something slightly more mean), and that's why Sen. Clinton won there.
I'm glad Senator McCain won, and because Florida is a winner-takes-all system, he got all 57 Republican delegates from Florida. Good job, Sen. McCain! It was pretty close between him and former Governor Romney for a while. When the screen was flashing "TOO CLOSE TO CALL" in red, I had terrible PTSD flashbacks to 2000. I'm still shuddering.
Former Mayor Giuliani did drop out, and is endorsing Senator McCain at a rally in California tomorrow. I don't know how polling has been for Sen. McCain in CA, but it is a Super Tuesday state.
Maine Republican is next?? Then after that is Super Tuesday!
