Florida has moved from a toss-up state to one that clearly leans toward John McCain, fueling speculation about how much longer the Democratic nominee will continue investing so heavily in the state.

They’ll run a lot of ads on Miami stations showing him at his greatest triumph, his speech in front of thousands of excited Germans. That would get the large Jewish community all excited now, wouldn't it? I can't see him being that stupid. On second thought....

IIRC:
VA & PA — McCain up 2-3%
OH — changes hands every time a new poll comes out, it seems like

“VA & PA — McCain up 2-3%

If PA goes McCain, so will Ohio. Ohio has Cleveland and Columbus as liberal bastions, and PA has Philly and Pittsburgh, but the liberals are a higher percentage in PA than in OH.
Also, the liberals in OH don’t vote in high numbers.
