Florida 2008 Republican Primary

Florida 2008 Republican Primary
Tuesday, January 29, 2008
(Turnout was reported very high today)

My man former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's big gamble in the Florida Republican Primary has sadly failed tonight. You’re a good man Rudy... and we all thank you for a clean, meaningful run.

Now... go and support John McCain Wednesday, as lots of rumors have it tonight, and I will most likely throw my support behind McCain TOO!!!

With that said...
Congratulations go out to
Arizona Senator John McCain
as the WINNER of the
Florida Republican Primary
this Tuesday night.

On to Super Tuesday... one week from today.
(Super Tuesday - Tuesday, Feb. 4th)

Mac is back... Mac is back... Mac is back!!!
AubreyJ.........
One last thought...
Rudy as McCain’s VP!!!?

UPDATE:
Wednesday, January 30, 2008
....
Rudy did drop out of the race and threw his chips in behind Arizona Senator John McCain.... And as of today -- so have I.

My Congratulations go out to the winners

Senator John McCain (R-AZ)

AND

Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY)

**************

My take on what happened today/tonight is this…
All those Independent voters that most pollsters, and those in the MSM, were thinking to be going over to the Obama Camp -- DIDN’T… They went to McCain’s Camp INSTEAD!
.
This I would say means that the Dems are still not trusted in being the KEY KEEPERS of the protection of this great Country of ours.
.
My Friends…
Do not give up on the Republican Candidates yet!!!

I'll end this post tonight with this...
Congratulations Mc!!!
Mc IS BACK... Mc IS BACK... Mc IS BACK...
Looking like Hillary might be TOO!
