The votes are still being counted in Florida and it's still to close to call a winner on the Republican side--John McCain and Mitt Romney are about three points apart. But for Rudy Giuliani, the verdict is clear--he's been projected to come in no better than third place.

I emailed the ever outspoken Jimmy Oddo, Republican Minority Leader in the City Council, for his thoughts on Giuliani. Here’s what he wrote:

“As painful as it is seeing Rudy lose Florida, what's proving more annoying is watching all his political enemies dance on his electoral grave I just had a near Elvis moment in that had I had a hand gun nearby I would have shot my own television after hearing Mark Green gloating about Rudy's loss saying he was "unlikable.". Pot meet kettle. But this is life in this game and Rudy will have a good life post Florida”

Anyone else have similar feelings?
