| McCain Wins Florida Primary
I'm the conservative leader who can unite the party," McCain said in a brief interview with The Associated Press. "It's a very significant boost, but I think we've got a tough week ahead and a lot of states to come." Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was the Democratic winner in a primary held in defiance of national rules that drew no campaigning and awarded no delegates. The victory was worth 57 national convention delegates for McCain, a winner-take-all haul that catapulted him ahead of Romney for the overall delegate lead. Giuliani ran third, his best showing of the campaign but not nearly good enough for the one-time front-runner who decided to make his last stand in a state that is home to tens of thousands of transplanted New Yorkers. In remarks to supporters in Orlando, the former New York mayor referred to his candidacy repeatedly in the past tense as though it were over.

High-density living naturally reduces household gasoline usage without crimping personal freedom or creating feelings of undue sacrifice.
