Florida Open Thread

Results are in from the Republican primary in Florida.

John McCain appears to have just barely edged out Mitt Romney in the all-important Florida GOP primary, according to projections from CNN and the Associated Press.

Right now, with just over half reporting, McCain has 36%, Romney has 31% and Rudy is bringing up third with 15%.

The scuttlebutt in GOP circles is that the McCain and Romney camps are both aggressively lobbying Rudy for his endorsement, in the expectation that Rudy will drop out soon, perhaps even tonight.

Rumors are circulating that Rudy will drop out before tomorrow night's Republican debate and endorse Sen. McCain. Thoughts?
