McCain Takes Florida. Giuliani to Take a Bow.

08:11 H | Topics: Florida - US Presidential Race 2008

30florida04_600.jpgWith 99% of the vote counted, John McCain led Mitt Romney by 36% to 31% in the Florida priamaries held yesterday, meaning all 57 Republican delegates go to him. All the results are as follows:

Republicans
John McCain: 36%
Mitt Romney: 31%
Rudy Giuliani: 15%
Mike Huckabee: 13%
Ron Paul: 3%
Democrats
Hillary Clinton: 50%
Barack Obama: 33%
John Edwards: 14%
Former NYC Mayor, Rudolph Giulini, who had placed all his campaigning eggs in the Florida basket, is expected to withdraw from from the race and support John McCain.

For Giuliani.....

While Hillary Clinton won the Democratic vote on paper, her party was punished by stripping Florida of all of its delegates for moving its primary earlier in the year, and the leading candidates refrained from campaigning there.
