(CNN) - A top campaign official from Sen. John McCain's camp has been in "ongoing discussions" with Rudy Giuliani's campaign about the former New York mayor endorsing McCain's candidacy, a GOP official familiar with talks told CNN Tuesday. McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, has been involved in the talks, the source said, but McCain and Giuliani had not spoken as of about 8 p.m. CNN projected that Arizona Sen. McCain would win the Florida GOP primary Tuesday night, beating former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, with Giuliani in a tight race for third with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. A source close to Giuliani confirmed that discussions were taking place and said there is talk among the staff that an endorsement could come Wednesday in California. The source said McCain and Giuliani need to talk, but "we are working to make it happen." Giuliani skipped the early primary and caucus campaigns, putting all his efforts into Florida and next Tuesday's Super Tuesday races. Speaking to supporters in Orlando, Giuliani praised his own campaign. "You don't always win, but you can always try to do it right," he said. "Win or lose, our work is not done because leaders dream of a better future and then they help to bring it into reality."
