What a crazy horse race. Military, both active and retired, came out in droves to vote for John McCain, and so did the hispanic population of southern Florida. First time in years anyone can remember such disparate factions agreeing on anything. McCain campaigned on a stronger border (what a joke and the Cubans know the real truth hence the vote), a powerful military, and time and time again hammered home his desire to beat Al Queda back to the stone age, where it really is anyway. Romney said that he was the better businessman but not enough voters believed that the private sector and Washington have anything in common.
Tomorrow, Julie Annie is slated to drop out and give his support to McCain, and while not as earth shattering an event as it would have seemed a few months back, is probably all McCain needs to lock up Super Tuesday. From a personal viewpoint, McCain ads came across as far more passionate and sincere than the rather stuffed-shirted Romney ones. Here in northern Florida the buzz was far more Romney-esque but apparently nowhere near enough to beat what the southernmost part of the state was looking for.
