2008 Florida Presidential Primary Maps
Jan 29th, 2008John McClain and Hillary Clinton Win the January 29th, 2008 Florida Presidential Primary
John McCain defeated the other Republican presidential candidates to win the Florida primary and in the process knocked Rudy Giuliani out of the race. Giuliani staked his candidacy on winning Florida and his defeat there means that he will drop out of the race soon. The Republican race is now looking like a two way race between John McCain and Mitt Romney with Super Tuesday less than a week away.
The Democratic National Committee stripped Florida of it’s delegates and as a result the candidates did not campaign in the sate. Hillary Clinton, the winner of Florida, is lobbying to have Florida’s delegates reinstated.

Rudy Giuliani’s unconventional campaign strategy was to skip the early states to focus on Florida. The strategy did not pay off and Giuliani did not win a single county in Florida. Expect him to drop out of the race and endorse McCain soon.

John McCain has wrapped up the Republican nomination with the SC victory. He is more intelligent, charismatic, & experienced than any other nominee.
Interestingly, JohnMcCain.name is not in use and for sale leading up to the election.
Where is Ron Pauls Map? We’re all sick and tired of the censorship and the media blackout,when his name doesn’t even appear on the lists of candidates? Whats this country coming to when people arent even allowed to make properly informed decisions.
@ Gabriel – If you click on the link to the Washington Post maps, you can view the Ron Paul map, however, since he did not place in the top 3 in a single county the map is basically blank.
Send me a link to Ron Paul map and we would be happy to share it (assuming it contains useful info, of course)
@ James – You may be right, although there is still a chance that the republican establishment will try to stop him.
I forgot how close Romney theoretically was to staying in the race. It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the elecetion in 2 months.
