Sunshine State Showdown

Tune in tonight as we find out the winner of the Florida Republican primary. Most years this would not be as important. But with the way the campaign season has gone, Florida might help clear up the muddled picture that is the Republican race. Rudy Giuliani's strategy of making Florida his Alamo appears to have back fired on America's mayor. Despite his time, money, and energy, the contest appears to be between Mitt Romney and John McCain. The national race appears to mirror that of Florida with the nominee being either McCain or Romney. Florida's contest is closed so McCain will have to win over Republicans and not simply rely on independent support. Each man covets what a win in Florida would give them. A win would start to solidify who the frontrunner will be. With Super Tuesday rapidly approaching, Florida's momentum could propel the winner to a huge day on February 5th. Money might become an issue, John McCain might not be able to compete against Mitt Romney's personal wealth and it could become a contest of attrition. In a few hours we will know the winner and perhaps the next Republican nominee for president.

FL Gov Endorses Senator John McCain

John McCain has picked up two major endorsements in his run to win the Sunshine State Primary. Senator Mel Martinez recently endorsed McCain and now Florida Governor Charlie Crist has done the same. Becoming more accepted by the Republican establishment then in 2000, McCain has picked up a slew of endorsements, many from his Senate colleagues. All eyes will be on Florida on Jan. 29th as we will find out the winner of the Florida primary and possibly who will be the Republican frontrunner and have an inside track to the nomination

Storming Norman Backs McCain

Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf has decided to endorse John McCain for President. The candidates are busy campaigning heavily in Florida ahead of its primary on Jan. 29th. As with all endorsements it is hard to determine their value. McCain has put together wins in New Hampshire and South Carolina and with a win in Florida could become the prohibitive favorite.
