The Republican primary results in Miami-Dade County -- by far Florida's most populous jurisdiction -- went a long way toward sealing Arizona Sen. John McCain's projected victory: McCain dominated there, while ex-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, his closest rival statewide, failed to compete in Miami-Dade.
With about three-fifths of precincts counted, McCain took 49.3 percent of the Republican vote in Miami-Dade County. It was not Romney who finished second in the region, but former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was a distant third statewide, but -- benefitting from the large population of former New Yorkers transplanted to the county -- ran second in Miami-Dade with 29.7 percent. Romney checked in with just 14.9 percent.
