McCain wins Florida

NBC/MSNBC just called Florida for McCain in a narrow (3% or so right now) win over Romney.

Personally, I'm a little surprised. I really though it would be Romney. But I have to say this is interesting in one respect. McCain is the more moderate Republican (except on war), which suggests that even the had line GOP is coming to its senses and rejecting the faux-conservative dogma of the last eight years.

And Romney (who is practically a Democrat anywhere but Massachusetts) running so close behind is further evidence that the right wing extremists and evangelicals have lost control of the party. (Thank God or the deity of your choosing.)

Oh, and as of the last update, Hillary Clinton had more votes than any other candidate in Florida. Another good sign for Democrats.
