There was lots of interesting stuff on cable news last night in the wake of McCain's victory in the Florida primary. Giuliani will reportedly drop out of the race today and endorse McCain, and there's talk of McCain wanting Huckabee to be his running mate. What this means, according to several pundits, is that the GOP establishment is uniting behind McCain and against Romney.
If all this is true, then not only is it a stunning development -- McCain's campaign was, after all, on life support last summer -- it's also the smart move because McCain is obviously the most electable Republican in the field right now. It will be interesting to see what Rush Limbaugh, who supposedly hates McCain and has been going after him in a big way lately, is going to say now.
One thing I think is critical for a McCain win in November is Iraq. If Iraq gets ultra-violent again in the run-up to November, then McCain could be hosed, particularly if Obama is the Democratic nominee. Obama's chances of being the nominee might have just improved now that Edwards is dropping out.
