Giuliani drops race, endorses McCain

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.  How many times has your mom told you that?    Well, Rudy Giuliani had to learn the hard way.

Against conventional wisdom (and some would say all common sense), Giuliani skipped the early primaries and put all his eggs in a basket also known as the state of Florida.   Then he lost the primary there.  By a lot.   

Presidential dreams broken.  Campaign a basket case.

So Giuliani announced that he would drop out of the race and endorse John McCain. ''John McCain is the most qualified candidate to be the next commander in chief of the United States,'' he said. ''He's an American hero.''

The feeling is mutual.  ''This man is a national hero and I'm honored by his friendship,'' McCain said of Giuliani.
