CQ Politics' Marie Horrigan reports on the razor-thin lead that John McCain currently holds over Mitt Romney in the early Republican vote count:
With 33 counties reporting, McCain has 33.5 percent of the vote and Romney has 33.3 percent of the vote.
So far McCain appears to be winning along the western (Gulf) and eastern (Atlantic) coasts of Florida. On the Gulf Coast, he is winning from Citrus County all the way down through Hernando, Pasco, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, Sarasota and Charlotte counties. On the Atlantic side coast, he has a string of counties from Volusia through Brevard, Indian River, and Saint Lucie.
Romney is winning counties in the northeastern corner of the state including Nassau, Baker, Columbia, Clay, and Saint Johns. So far the only county he holds on the west coast is Collier.
