This is our first foray into political discourse. We have been hearing from several of our sources that the Republican Presidential ticket could be Senator John McCain and Florida Governor Charlie Crist.
Eric Ernst has a insightful column, "
Governor has finger on pulse of public". Eric states, "He's good at gauging the collective mood and capitalizing on it...More recently he withheld his endorsement of any Republican presidential candidates until the
John McCain bandwagon started rolling. Then Crist jumped aboard. Now he's entwined with McCain's front-running campaign."
We have heard that there is a very close relationship between Senator McCain and Governor Crist. If Governor Crist, knowing the pulse of the Republican party, picked right in endorsing Senator McCain and he eventually gets the nomination, then Crist gets the credit because it all started with the boost from the victory in Florida.
Political favors are political favors. As we predicted Florida's primary was critical to both parties but especially to the Republicans because it was winner take all of the 56 delegates. Our primary caused Rudy to drop out and endorse McCain, put Governor Romney on the defensive and Senator John McCain in the lead.
That is significant. Our Republican legislature deserves tremendous credit for putting Florida in a commanding position in selecting the next President of the United States.
