The vote split in Florida is much more representative of what may be expected in the primaries and caucuses on the Fifth than South Carolina, especially on the Democratic side. Whether the other southern states with a large black vote will follow the SC lead is a question mark, but overall, the balance favors Clinton.

On the Republican side, looks like Romney will be in for the long haul. I dunno if McCain will stay strong or fade. I am afraid Huckabee will pull votes in the bible belt. Goodbye to Giuliani, no loss to the campaign.
