From the Sunshine State

McCain wins (and may get Giuliani's mighty endorsement), but he's pretty much out of money, and the people who have the money don't like him. With Rudy! out, I'm curious to see how McCain does in a head-to-head to the Romney-bot (with Huckabee apparently no longer a factor). If Giuliani hadn't been on the ballot, how much of his 15% would've gone to McCain? The exit polls tend to indicate that McCain still has a significant problem with the GOP base (Scarborough dismissed his platform as "less jobs and more wars"). This would tend to hurt his ability to use the Karl Rove/Nathan Bedford Forrest ("Git thar fustest with the mostest men") strategy in November.

In other news, Dubya was lying during SOTU. Quick, fetch the smelling salts; I feel faint!

Huckabee & Giuliani on Taxes

"My tax plan will eliminate the IRS!!"

"Oh yeah? Well, MY tax plan will be TWICE the size of Reagan's!"

"Oh, yeah? Well, under MY plan, everyone gets a pony! Tax free!"

"9-11! 9-11!"

Frauds of a Feather

Blasphemous tele-Pharisee and blood-diamond smuggler Pat Robertson bestows his "blessing" upon the truth-challenged megalomaniac, Rudy Giuliani. No word yet on whether Rudy! will now call for the assassination of Hugo Chavez or blame "abortionists...feminists...gays and lesbians" for 9-11.

"Conventional Wisdom" May Be Wrong!

Shock! Horror! Giuliani the great bald hope of the GOP? Hillary unelectable? Turns out, not so much. Though Giuliani is certainly appearing more and more Bush-like lately, what with his pathological lying and batshit insane foreign-policy brainless trust.
