Why are so many people saying FL is in McCain's back pocket? I'll admit it leans Republican right now, but it's still within Obama's reach and he shouldn't just give up here.
There are 2 things I can think of that may be swaying things. 1 may be doing so right now. That would be offshore drilling. People generally don't like their own state being drilled, just ones that are all the way on the other coast. The other thing is there are quite a few Hispanics in Florida. I think this has been underestimated and will continue to make Florida closer than it appears.
For those who still think Florida is a lost cause for the Democrats, the state hasn't landslided in a Presidential election since 1988.
