Ad spending in Florida: millions by Barack Obama, zilch by John McCain...

[Artemis Webb]

This is good news.
I’m all excited about Michigan being in play but it does us no good if Florida seeps through the cracks.

Florida is a pipe dream for the RATs. It has been trending more and more Republican since 2000.

McCain will take it by 5 points.

[Always Right]

Big news if McCain can hold on to Ohio and Florida with ease. It lets McCain focus on CO and MI to wrap it up. Two big Hockey states for the Hockey Mom to deliver.

[tomymind]

CO and NV (or CO and NH) are the next targets. We need 272-273 EV at least.

Does anyone have a link to an up-to-date look at the electoral map (in its entirety?)

[LS]

We WON’T lose FL, and I’m pretty sure McCain will keep OH. I’m only worried now about VA and CO. We get those two, it’s over. I think McCain will peel away the one EV from ME, and possibly NH.

Me = MI?

NH or NV

"Barack Obama has dropped a few points each time we've polled Florida over the course of the summer,"

True to form.

He's never finished well.

[Joe Boucher]

There are only so many stupids here in Florida.
But I think we’ll go for McCain come election time.
And I wouldn’t trust any polls anywhere at this time.
Come time to throw the lever for the “magic negro”, a lot of folks will look at security and experience.

Doesn't each state have at least 3 EVs?

# of senators plus # of representatives.

McCain will take it by 5 points

IMHO, at least 5 points.

[Paradox]

Obama holds the edge among Hispanics, 49-42 percent, blacks, 88-10 percent,

Does anyone know what percentage of Florida African-Americans were won by Kerry? I find the 88% number a bit low, suggesting that perhaps the "black" vote is not going to be reflexively voting for "one of their own" as many speculate. I think that is a good sign, for the culture, as well as for McCain.

Yeah, they're the ones who didn't graduate from UF. (Ok, ok we've had our share of knuckleheads too)

[tomymind]

McCain should campaign in New Hampshire, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin and Colorado, not in Florida.

[libscum]

But Rasmussen has it tied. He is doing something wrong in his sampling...

[rbmillerjr]

More good news.

A good poll to with only 3% margin of error vs some recent one’s with 4.5%.

I really think McCain is going to win Fl,Ohio,Pa...Pa being the biggest stretch, but very doable with Palin on the ticket and Obama with huge negatives up there...I think Michigan will come right down to the wire.

Blacks go for Obama 88 to 10. Sometimes facts speak much louder than political rhetoric.
