MIAMI - Sen. John McCain won a breakthrough triumph in the Florida Republican primary Tuesday night, edging past former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and seizing precious campaign momentum for next week's string of contests across 21 states.
"It shows one thing: I'm the conservative leader who can unite the party," the Arizona senator said in a brief interview with The Associated Press. "It's a very significant boost, but I think we've got a tough week ahead and a lot of states to come."
The victory was worth 57 national convention delegates for McCain, a winner-take-all's haul and the largest single prize to date in the race.
Rudy Giuliani was in third place, his best showing of the campaign but possibly not good enough to warrant continuing.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee trailed but told supporters he would forge on.
Don't ja just love it? Paul is still in the race and he has the cash to win some Super Tuesday states. C'mon pissant, join the Revolution. (Hands out bong)
Have babies AFTER your married? He is just a bigot (women and minorities affected the most)!
“But lets see what happens on Super Tuesday.”
You can wait a week if you like, but I’m quite certain it’s all over. Mitt gave it his best shot in Florida, and he won’t do better in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and California. In fact it wouldn’t surprise me if he now tacitly concedes by cutting back his media expenditures for February 5th.
My vote is for Romney - he is the real candidate who can beat the she satan.
I would much rather see someone one in office that I know that I cannot trust as to have a back stabber, like McCain.
This is really starting to suck.
I recently sent McCain some Bush Pesos. They must have helped him alot. ;)
A McCain candidacy will be the Republican version of McGovern or, most likely, Mondale. A complete rout.
“Romney needs to hang on until Super Tuesday to see if we have a shot at a brokered convention. Then Fred needs to come back.”
That’s right. Hang in there, Mitt.
“Yeah and hell bring in 20 million illegal aliens and all their reletives...”
Who do u think are “washing out” conservative votes?
Illegals and Illegals who have become legal... voting block.
20 million of them and these idiot politicians want more.
This country is doomed. Hispanics are already the majority in California.
And it will in the future happen in your state as well.
According to the spread, I would say about 65,000 independents vote for McLame
Besides the war, does McCain even have a conservative position on anything?
If McCain is the nominee, I might just join you.
Mitt Romney for President.

I’m with you. McCain will not see my vote.
