So who will be that victor?  Polls are close, very close.  This week's endorsement of McCain by Florida Governor Charlie Crist certainly didn't hurt the senator's chances, but it's hard to tell how many voters the announcement will sway.  It did help convince me to go with the aggregate polling average and predict a slim McCain margin over Romney.

Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani looks like he'll find out his strategy of effectively waiting on the sidelines until this day in Florida was not such a great idea.  No, the Rudy firewall is burning.  With his poll numbers tanking nationwide, it is very difficult to see how he can survive a distant third here today and mount any credible comeback in the future.  And Mike Huckabee's support, as expected after the second-place finish in South Carolina, is waning as well.  This has clearly become a two-man race for the GOP nomination.

On the Democratic side, the candidates are once again fighting for nothing but bragging rights.  Like Michigan, Florida's delegates have been taken away by the DNC for conducting the primary before Feb. 5.  However, that doesn't stop The Blogging Caesar from making predictions on that contest, too.

Republicans John McCain - 36% Mitt Romney - 35% Rudy Giuliani - 14% Mike Huckabee - 10% Ron Paul - 5%

Democrats Hillary Clinton - 47% Barack Obama - 38% John Edwards - 15% Mike Gravel - 0%
