Today's Main Event:
- Today is the Florida Primary. Have you cast your vote yet? Republicans John McCain, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani are locked in a tight race. The Democrats vowed not to campaign in the Sunshine State since the state decided to move its primary up before Feb. 5. The Democratic National Committee has stripped Florida of all of its delegates; only half of the GOP's delegates will be seated at this summer's convention. Polls are open until 7 p.m.

Thought For The Day:
