One step closer to the White House: McCain wins FL GOP race and Fox News is a little less dead to me…
Today was my last day in Florida. In mere hours I will be making my way to the Tampa International Airport. Boo. This has been one of the most fun and amazine experiences. I’ve made friendships that I believe may last forever. I learnt first hand how a campaign works to generate support from a […]

Voting Day: 8 am Est.
The polls have been open for over an hour. According to CNN, turnout is going to be extraordinary high. This helps McCain. The more people who vote, the more moderates vote.

FOX News and the State of the Union
This morning, Fox News reported that McCain and Romney were basically tied. They did not give the numbers. The numbers were in fact 33% McCain and 30% Romney according to Reuters. This is hugely significant. Why? Because McCain beat Huckabee in South Carolina by that same 3% margin.
With this information as background information, I’m putting Fox News on […]

Proof that grassroots efforts work!
I made phone calls today to supporters who have listed they were Mike Huckabee supporters but put McCain as their number 2 choice. This was fun.

Today, I got up at 5:30. Mary Kay was picking me up at 6:15. We were heading to Catholic churches with really nice flyers geared towards Catholics who might be interested in supporting the Senator. The leaflets pointed out that McCain’s kids went to Catholic schools. He’s […]

This means that McCain is now the candidate of the Republican establishment. Senators, Representatives, Govenors, and former Secretaries are all supporting McCain. But McCain is a hated man by […]

The day I shook the good Senator’s hand: Day 1 of 5
Best antic of the day:
Andrew, a University of Tampa student, and fellow McCainiac, attended the national security roundtable where John McCain sat with a bunch of luminaries, including former Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Tom Ridge, and a bunch of Senators and Govenors that support McCain to tell the public that they in fact support Senator […]

Making McCain President: Getting to Florida
My decision to fly to Florida to campaign for Senator John McCain was rash and very unpredictable, but now that I am stuck in an airport for hours and hours, I have time to reflect upon this decision as well as others.
“That’s a new one.” This is what the customs agent said to me when she […]
