One more day of campaigning before the Florida primary, and it's looking like last call for Rudy Giuliani. The Florida polls show a two-man race on the GOP side, with McCain just slightly ahead of Romney.

John Zogby has it McCain 33%, Romney 30% with Giuliani at 14% and Huckabee 11%.

Rasmussen Reports has it McCain 31%, Romney 31%, Giuliani 16% and Huckabee 11%.

One wild card in this race is the early voting. According to this Miami Herald article, nearly one million Floridians have already voted. So we can expect yet another state with a record turnout, made even more remarkable by the fact that on the Democratic side the candidates have not been very active in the state, as the national party has said the primary won't count for delegate selection (of course, if Hillary comes into the convention as the nominee, the convention will vote to seat Florida's delegates, as well as Michigan's, which is in a similar situation).

In a major blow to the Clinton campaign, Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy will come out today and endorse Barack Obama. Clearly, the Kennedys have decided the country has had enough of the Clintons (and to think that I never in my life believed I would find common ground with Ted Kennedy).

John McCain is beginning to gain ground with the Republican establishment. John Fund says McCain has some opportunities ahead to mend fences with conservatives. I absolutely agree. McCain needs to do whatever is necessary to mend those fences, as he will have a much more difficult time winning in November if conservatives sit it out.
