So, John McCain has a decisive win in Florida today and the breaking news of an endorsement by Rudy Giuliani tomorrow looms large.
"Momentum" may be taking hold now as GOP conservatives with (well-earned) concerns about the implications of a McCain administration seek comfort in McCain's possible electability vs. the Democrats.
Mitt Romney needs a big week before Super Tuesday when 41% of Republican delegates will be allocated. So far, his talents and message aren't competitive enough with McCain's personal history, and the GOP body politic may be rejecting the non-Washington outsider candidate.
The other drama will be whether or not Barack Obama can make real progress against Clinton, Inc. Dick Morris on Fox News found great significance in exit polls that indicated Florida voters who made their decision over the past few days showed a big shift to the sleek senator from Illinois.
Next week should be very revealing. The political year is proving to have surprises after all.
