What changed recently, other than McCain doing very well in Florida, for RealClear to move Florida back to toss-up? Obama now ahead in electoral map.

“It’s hard to believe....” I’ve used that expression many times during this election season. But it is true in this case again: How can FL even be close when MI, PA, and other states that have gone Democrat since 1992 also be close? You would think if McCain as a good shot at Clinton/Gore/Kerry states that Obama would have no chance in FL. If OH has been trending to McCain I would be stunned if Obama would have a shot at FL. Not that I think the Repubs will run away with it. But I think McCain/Pain should do at least as well as Bush did in ‘04.
The only “toss-up” that comes to mind here is that “UpChuck” Joe Biden is a total non-factor in helping Obama at all in FL, and elsewhere...
