What Now?

There are gads of newspaper columns and blogs talking about the significance of McCain's win in South Carolina yesterday. But it all pretty much comes down to this: John McCain must now be seen as the favorite to represent the Republicans in November. If he defeats Rudy in Florida, it will be pretty much over.

Ouch.

George Will's column this morning should be read by all Floridians as a kick-start to a party-wide anti-McCain campaign. That campaign should emphasize that everyone who does not want McCain to be the party nominee must now coalesce around a single candidate - Rudy Giuliani. Right now, if you're against McCain, it doesn't matter who you're for. It only matters that McCain be stopped in Florida. And Rudy is in the best position to stop him.
