Republicans and Democrats go to the polls today in Florida. The Republican side of the primary shows a dead heat between John McCain and Mitt Romney. The Democratic side which was not really contested should be going big for Hillary Clinton as she has most of the power players in Florida on her side. Obama by getting the Kennedy endorsements should get a boost among Hispanics who respect the Kennedy legacy.
McCain and Romney have been going at it for the last week on comments made by McCain about Romney’s alleged statements about withdrawing from Iraq. Rudy Giuliani who was the clear front runner up until about a month ago when he started fading fast. Different pundits have speculated that Giuliani will leave the race if he comes in third in Florida as projected. Huckabee is running in fourth place and will also be a non factor going forward if he does not improve his poll numbers. Ron Paul has not really resonated with voters in the state.
