Rudy Giuliani will endorse Senator McCain on Wednesday.
ABC News reported:
ABC News’ Jake Tapper and Rick Klein Report: Rudy Giuliani will board a plane to California on Wednesday morning, as planned. But, sources tell ABC News, once there, instead of participating in the GOP debate, he will drop out of the presidential race and endorse Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
Giuliani came down to greet supporters at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel in Orlando. Responding to a friendly cheer from the audience, Giuliani laughed and quoted “that famous philosopher Yogi Berra, ‘It’s not over until it’s over.'”
Carl Cameron at FOX News confirmed the report.
Ace says it best:
Allow me my damn-my-guy-is-out moment, especially because it appears that a liberal Republican is going to win anyway. And I have to think Giuliani is preferable to McCain, if we’re to have a liberalish Republican candidate.
