I think Romney actually did manage a proper win once the dust settled. The exit polling numbers I saw around midnight said most of the uncommitted voters who picked a candidate went for McCain, so despite Kos's shenanigans encouraging uncommitted voters to flock to Romney, we can't credit his victory to the Kossacks.
So, three states, three winners (Memo to Wyoming: STFU already). We may have to break out the primer on brokered conventions soon at this rate.
Rudy claims he'll be redeemed in Florida, and maybe he's right. But he's in an awfully deep hole, and increasingly he's looking up at Ron Paul. It's hard to think of Paul as a joke or fad when he's consistently beating the snot out of Rudy, and it's likewise hard to take Rudy seriously when he's polling behind the class clown. He's also a nutter with no actual issues in common with his base, just a single sound clip. I'm not holding my breath until he storms back into the lead.
BUT! If he did storm back and win Florida, that'd be even better for a brokered convention. I'm really rooting for the Republicans to immolate themselves this year, and so far I'm enjoying their primaries immensely.
Oh, and I'm taking suggestions for a userpic/icon to use for politics. I don't like sullying the one I use for bicycle stuff on the politicos.
ETA: These poll numbers seem to consistently show Rudy behind McCain by one or two points over the last few days. Even more than Romney in Michigan, Rudy can't afford a squeaker in Florida.
