John McCain won a big victory yesterday in Florida. Only registered Republicans were allowed to vote in the Florida primary and by winning the contest McCain cemented himself as the clear frontrunner going into Super Tuesday. Mitt Romney came in second despite spending an estimated 30 million on advertising in the state which was 5 times was McCain spent. Rudy Giuliani came in a disappointing third. Mike Huckabee came in fourth and Ron Paul came in 5th.
On the Democratic site Hillary coasted to an easy victory receiving almost 300,000 more votes than Barack Obama. John Edwards came in third again. Even though on the Democratic side it was only considered a Beauty contest since no delegates were awarded, Hillary came out as the pageant queen as her campaign is using the victory to downplay Obama's lopsided victory in South Carolina.
On the Democratic side John Edwards isleaving the race and not endorsing any of the other Democratic candidates and on the Republican side Rudy Giuliani is leaving the race and is planning on endorsing John McCain.
