Despite the fact that some of my favorite people have strong affinity to Florida, I’ve always thought of it as kind of…  well, the worst place in America.  Like most of my opinions, I don’t have much of a reason for not liking it so much, but it doesn’t change the fact that I think it’s a weird, weird place.  That said, this past Tuesday, Florida did us all a huge favor.

What I’m referring to, of course, is the people of Florida giving their 114 delegates to the (tied for) best man to be President.  Yeah, I’m referring to John McCain.  He’s won New Hampshire, South Carolina, and now Florida…  and maybe one that I’m forgetting, and I think it’s awesome.  Florida through through the fakeness of Romney and the sleeziness of Giuliani and made McCain their choice.  That is fantastic.   Seriously, really really fantastic.

So now Giuliani is out and has endorsed (I think) McCain, who can now take that victory into this Tuesday’s primaries and hopefully convert it into an overwhelming advantage.  Hopefully.  I still don’t have a lot of confidence in the average Republican primary voter, but if McCain can win even in Florida’s closed primary, I think he’s in decent shape.  With the support of California’s governor, McCain has a great shot in California.  Of course, Schwarzenegger  is no Chuck Norris, but hopefully he’ll make some votes go McCain’s way.

In other recent news, I’m stoked to see John Edwards out of the picture on the Democratic side.  I think pretty much everyone expected he’d stay in through Super Tuesday and try to add to his pocketful of delegates, so it’s tough to guess what’s really going on.  My instinct is that a lot of Democratic voters that supported Edwards will mostly go to Obama, but I could very well be wrong.  We’ll find out next week.
