US elections - McCain, Clinton win Florida primaries - by Robert Schroeder
John McCain of Arizona won a closely fought battle with Mitt Romney to win Florida's Republican primary Tuesday night, propelling his candidacy mightily forward to the 24-state Super Tuesday contest on Feb. 5. On the Democratic side, Sen. Hillary Clinton handily defeated rival Sen. Barack Obama in an expected win. Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani placed a disappointing third in Florida's Republican race after staking much of his run for the nomination on the Sunshine State.
Note EU-Digest: this result shows that both the Republican and the Democratic political parties have choosing for a more liberal leadership with its choice of Hillary Clinton and John McCain in Florida.
