Sun Shines on McCain in Florida

MAC TOPS ROMNEY
Finally for the G.O.P., A FRONTRUNNER

With 70% in . . . It's McCain 36%, Romney 31%

The End of Rudy? Rudy speaks, talks in past tense. Newsweek's Howard Fineman reports a deal for Giuliani to endorse McCain is in the works.

Huckabee in St. Louis: "We're playing all 9 innings of this ballgame. Even the Cardinals occasionally have a rough inning, but they know how to win Championships," Huckabee tells crowd at Drury Inn & Suites. Thanks operative Jeff Roe "for confidence he's given him in Missouri."

Huck turns SUPER TUESDAY focus to: Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia. Tom Brokaw says Huck still a factor: "He'll come out of Super Tuesday, with a number of delegates."

1) MCCAIN NEWLY MINTED G.O.P. FRONTRUNNER
2) HUCK STAYING IN HURTS ROMNEY'S PATH by syphoning conservatives
3) A RUDY ENDORSEMENT FOR MAC WINS MEDIA, MO' AND MONEY
