Big win for McCain in Florida

I get as furious as anybody about the media's weird McCain sycophancy, but I really don't see how one can construe this as anything other than a huge victory for him. He won by a respectable, if not enormous, margin, and picked up a HUGE number of delegates. He will likely soon win the endorsement of Rudy Giuliani. He has a lot of momentum. And he has the Mike Huckabee effect to rest upon as well.

When Hillary won New Hampshire, it was a tiny win that the media turned into a landslide. This might not be a landslide, but it's a much, much bigger deal than that.

Ya, McCain's star is blinking brightly it seems. But he's got real money troubles in his campaign.

It is sure unclear where the McCain haters and the evangelicals in the GOP go next. They might just go along, but that price is dear. Even a Huck VP doesn't really solve the problem because the evangelicals really don't see McCain as their born-again political savior.

I'm concerned about McCain as a candidate, but even more fearful of who he might choose as VP (other than Huck). McCain is FDR post-1944 in regards to longevity prospects, and what if he choses Rudy or Jeb or Cheney or Rice or whatever GOP nut that they scrape from their endless barrel of mentally damaged folks from the "Bush GOP"?
