Networks are calling Florida for John McCain. And it looks like Giuliani is bowing out tomorrow morning. And if that wasn’t bad enough, rumors are swirling that Giuliani is going to throw his support behind McCain (probably as part of his application for the VP spot).

While I initially began this cycle working with the Giuliani camp, I’ll admit I was never more than lukewarm about his candidacy. He was too liberal for me on some issues… but in the end, he was still a much better choice than anyone on the other side (which unfortunately sums up most of the Republican candidates this year).

I’m exhausted. Wake me up in November.

1. I hear commentators say that the GOP has stepped a bit to the left (of where it was), and this primary seems to confirm it. I look back now at a commentary by “bond king” Bill Gross, shortly after the internet bubble popped. He predicted that the psychological set back of the bust would move the country slightly to the left, as the “free-market” got blamed for Enron and every other bad investment.

   His prediction seems precient now. The housing bust simply deepens that sense of malaise.

3. This has been a disaster so far. We have NO good candidate. Not like we had in Bush or Reagan. No one to get excited about.
   Romney is my only choice. If he doesn’t get the nom I may sit out this one. Let the liberals take the blame for everything that happens after the election.
   I’m tired too. I’m going on vacation. Until 2009…
