Florida fade
Mitt Romney's hopes have dimmed.

The New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times, are calling John McCain's victory in Florida the real thing because he proved he could pull the GOP base. Romney did best among anti-immigration conservatives.

McCain received 36 percent of the vote to Romney's 31 percent in what had become an increasingly nasty contest.

Mitt, Utah's Olympic savior, will need to dig deeply into his millions to stop McCain's momentum going into so-called Tsunami Tuesday next week when 24 states, including Utah, will hold primaries.

Meanwhile, America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani has crashed and burned with a distant third in Florida. He is expected to drop out and throw his support to McCain.

Among Democrats, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, right, the scrappy underdog who visited Utah last summer for a fund raiser, is expected to drop out today.

Tsunami is spelled Tsunami, not Sunami.
