Florida- Victory and Withdrawals

Last nights Florida primary was a major event for the Republican party, one that could lead to them sealing the GOP nominee. Coming out winner was Sen. John McCain, followed by Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, and Ron Paul.

Florida had become the center of Rudy Giuliani's campaign, a move that probably cost him his candidacy. And after coming in third the republican candidate announced he would withdrawal. Which leads us to this evening were Giuliani made the official announcement, while at the same time making his official endorsement for John McCain. Also Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will be announcing his endorsement for McCain tomorrow.

Now on the democratic side, their Florida primary was more hush hush. Silently winning was Sen. Hillary Clinton, marking another win for her and another loss for John Edwards. After having faced a string of defeats, and possibly the strain the campaign has had on his family, John Edwards announced that he would also be bowing out of the presidential race. And having made ending poverty a key part of his campaign, Edwards hopes Clinton and Obama will engage in his cause.

Next week Americans will be heading out to cast their support for their candidates on Super Tuesday. Will John McCain snag the nominee, and will Mike Huckabee make a surprising leap ahead of Romney? And with just two democrats left, will it be Hillary or Barack? And that's it from Florida- victory and withdrawals.
