In the aftermath of the Florida Primary, several news organizations are reporting that Rudy Giuliani will drop out of the Republican race tomorrow and endorse John McCain:
(CNN) — Rudy Giuliani will endorse John McCain Wednesday in California, two GOP sources familiar with the discussions told CNN Tuesday.
McCain’s campaign manager, Rick Davis, had been in “ongoing discussions” with Rudy Giuliani’s campaign about the former New York mayor ending his run and actively endorsing McCain’s candidacy, according to a GOP official familiar with talks.
After watching both Giuliani and McCain’s speeches tonight, it’s fairly clear that this is more than just cable news speculation. Each candidate, in thier own way, went out of their way to paint a positive picture of each other.
It’s an inevitable matchup, of course, although I’ll admit I thought a year ago it would be McCain endorsing Giuliani. Nonetheless, this very well could be the beginning of the end of the race for the Republican nomination.
