Rudy Dropout Rumors Continue [Confirmed]

UPDATE: Confirmed: cnn

At this time (8:50pm) the polls are too close to call with a slight edge to McCain over Romney, but what they are clear about is that Rudy's Florida strategy has completely and utterly failed. And I was wrong. In my defense, I figured that with all the money that Rudy raised early, at least he hired himself some extremely smart political strategists that told him this strategy was sound and would work.

Right?

And now the latest is that Rudy will be dropping out Wednesday (that's tomorrow) and will do it in California. So Rudy will be essentially doing his part to throw New York and California over to John McCain on his way out. In the meantime, based on my own feelings, and the feelings of a few others that I talk to, I believe that we will see a sudden "stop McCain" movement heat up with Romney as the only standard bearer left to lead it.

Will it work? It'll be tough. McCain will have won Florida and will have an inside edge on California and New York. Romney will need to sweep the South and West. It's doable, but Huckabee will need to drop out, and as I write this, he is pledging to head to Missouri. Huck has had his moment and there's enough there for several other posts.
