The rivals for the White House are starting to focus on the key Southern states won by George Bush in 2004, with just 18 days to go before the vote.
John McCain, who is trailing in the opinion polls, must hold Virginia, North Carolina and Florida to have a realistic chance of being elected.
Meanwhile, the Obama campaign is pouring resources into Florida, a state once seen as leaning Republican.
Mr McCain will be in Florida on Friday, while Mr Obama arrives on Monday.
Senator McCain will hold a rally in Miami, hoping to mobilise his support among Cuban-Americans, while Senator Obama will campaign in Tampa on Monday before joining Hillary Clinton for a rally in Orlando, on the first day that postal voting opens in Florida.

Freedom's Watch launches North Carolina campaign
And here's another group active in NV, CO and now MI:
Go freedom’s watch!
I work with the person who was in charge of Ground Zero in FL in 2000. Last time it was in Ohio. Ground Zero is NOT in FL this time.
Thought you’d like to know that today KESG and I have both seen (me multiple times) a new McCain TV ad tying Obama to Tony Rezko and to Congressional liberals and their tax hikes. It’s a pretty good ad.
McCain has been on the air in S. Florida for almost a week, parts of Ohio, PA, and I am not sure where else.
Wisconsin! Through at least 26 October.
Thanks for the info!
Thanks again
Just read on another thread that McCain is “carpetbombing” Minnesota with ads. That’s another good sign, IMO. Even if he doesn’t win MN, it should improve his chances in WI and scare the heck out of the Obamessiah.
That is awesome news! Obama sucked up all the money and left the Dems in House and Senate races scrambling for money. I was at the OU game today and talked to someone from the political science department who said these Obama ads in FL are to help their Congressional races that there is no way that Obama wins FL because he does not have S. Florida sewed up. Said if Obama was serious about FL, he would be campaigning all over S. Florida because he will not make inroads in the I-4 corridor. Then he laughed and said between Castro endorsing Obama making the Cubans mad and Jesse Jackson saying no Zionist in the Administration that he wouldn’t be welcome in S. FL. He thought it would be funny if the NYC Jewish grandmas went after Obama.
He then brought up what we have discussed about Obama dumping money so when his donors are found to be illegal, he will have no money to pay them back or the fine.
He said other then that Obama’s campaign in FL makes zero sense.
Is Lieberman’s campaigning helping McCain with NY/NJ retirees?
BO will be stinking up Miami on Tuesday at 5:45, Freep Him ad ask him where his Birth Certificate is kept. Enquiring minds want to know.........
