Saying he's "giving up" on Florida or "conceding florida" is not the same as "pulling out of Florida." Tony knows Kerry's schedule as well as anyone , I'm willing to bet. Kerry cannot afford to cancel stops in a state on which many dems want to exact their revenge for 2000. He's commited to showing up there. He has got to keep up appearances.
I think that Geraghty's source, knowing full well that a rumor like this doesn't help Kerry, told Jim what he should have as a good campaign worker: "Kerry's still campaigning in Florida"
Here is the quote:
Tony Snow: "...You can't look at the nationwide polls, you have to look at them state by state and talk to the campaigns a little bit. The Democrats have all but given up on Florida, believe it or not. Their internal polls must be pretty discouraging. They're packing it in in Colorado, also. They're going to make their big stand, and focus on Ohio, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania."
