McCain wins Florida

John McCain has won by around 4% over .  It was a close race for a state.  Florida was a rare winner take all state so McCain got all 57 delegates and now leads the delegate count. It was also a closed primary so it showed he can win without the votes of Independents.

Rudy was a distant third on 15% and his campaign is over before it really started.  A bit of a pity as I like the fact he was a Republican who was liberal on religious and moral type issues. But he should withdraw now and endorse McCain.

McCain is the only Republican candidate with a chance of beating or Obama. I hope he gets the nomination. Looking at the he is ahead by around 9% in both California with 173 delegates and New York with 101.  But , Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee and Arizona have 308 delegates between them and little there. New York is winner takes all so very impt.  McCain is on 32%, Rudy 22% and Romney 14% so if Rudy withdraws McCain should win easily.

I think we still have Maine to go before Super Duper Tuesday.
