MIAMI - Sen. John McCain won a breakthrough triumph in the Florida Republican primary Tuesday night, edging past former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and seizing precious campaign momentum for next week's string of contests across 21 states.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was running third, and headed for the exits. Officials familiar with events said his aides were in discussions with McCain's advisers on a possible endorsement later in the week.
Mike Huckabee was running fourth, and pledged to campaign on. Texas Rep. Ron Paul was far behind in last place.
Returns from 62 percent of the state's precincts showed McCain, the Arizona senator, with 36 percent of the vote and Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, with 31 percent.
This could be premature, because Mitt has been working the absentee ballot voters very hard, and it may be a while till all of those votes are counted. It wouldn't be the first time that someone called an election in Florida prematurely either...
