Although our favorite Republican candidate, John McCain, did not win the Michigan primary, losing it to Mitt Romney, he is picking up speed. Winning the South Carolina primary, McCain is looking to be a much stronger candidate than he had been looked at being in the past few months. With this win, it seems that Romney and McCain are pushing the early winner, Huckabee, out of his position, leaving him in the dust. McCain, though, has also lost Michigan to Romney, who's personal history in the state gave him a great advantage over the other Republican candidates. Romney's position in the race perhaps has stuttered a bit, as he took only fourth in the South Carolina primary, far behind the lead.
Interestingly enough, though, the actor seen in the back of all the recent news footage of the election campaign trails, the internet-famous Chuck Norris, has been stirring up trouble with McCain. Attacking McCain for his age, saying that he is not young enough to serve as president, Norris has been struck back at by McCain. As the campaign continues, we'll see how McCain, who is currently polling first in Florida, a state chock full of retired persons, will pull through.

It should really be interesting to see if McCain can win Florida. Not only would it be a significant win for his campaign, but it would also most likely knock Giuliani out of the race. McCain has been extremely suprising so far in the early part of the race. The momentum he has been picking up in the past couple of weeks has been tremendous, and it has been really helping him. I don't think McCain needs to worry about what 'Chuck Norris' has been saying about him, and I think the story got a blown out of proportion. Definitely excited to see what happens come Florida.
