Going way out on a limb, CNN projects John McCain wins Wisconsin. Nail-biter.

UPDATE: McCain says he can “now say with confidence, I will be the Republican party’s nominee.”

He commends Huckabee’s “impressive grit and passion,” and “I have come to admire very much.”

He hits the opposition for “an eloquent but empty call for change”, promising “another holiday from history” and offering “a tired philosophy that trusts the government more than the people.”

It’s not the best speech I’ve ever seen McCain give, but it’s solid, and lands some strong blows at an obvious target in Obama. It mentions today’s events in Pakistan and Cuba, and asks, essentially, ‘do you trust a rookie like Obama at the wheel in a world like this?’

The line, “I haven’t lived a day when I haven’t been proud, proud, of my country,” seems to be a direct contrast with Michelle Obama’s comment.
