Confetti's strewn on the floor. Empty strings with deflated balloons. Campaign banners hanging limply from the walls. All that's left of the state of Florida's Presidential Primary is to clean up the mess. The janitors have the easy job of tidying up campaign halls, with the clutter left behind by the entourage of republican candidates but who is going to clean up the turmoil left behind with Governor Crist's 11th hour endorsement of John McCain?
Political pundits have been spouting the demise of the conservatives in the republican party all day with the win of McCain last night. They are conveniently ignoring the hard, cold numbers of the Florida campaigns. Yes, McCain won but his margin of victory was slim, at best. Looking at it realistically, 64% of republicans that voted in yesterday's Primary did not agree with McCain's brand of politics.
It is apparent that the republican guru's at the top of the food chain have forgotten the message the voters sent them in 2006 which gave the majority control over to democrats in Congress. Republicans are still smarting from the pain of holding our noses in 1996 after Bob Dole's failed bid for president. What's next? Asking republicans to vote for a quasi-democrat under the guise of the republican banner?
The one bright spot in yesterday's election was the passage of amendment 1 that will help jump start our sagging economy.

yes..the self-destruction of the Party from within has begun unless the conservatives WAKE UP and on Tuesday vote for Romney and send McCain packing. Huckabee is a spoiler and anyone who thinks he has a snowball's chance is kidding themselves.
