I talk to a lot of people down here and they like really Palin. Some even think McCain won the election just by picking Palin.</p> As someone who lives in Florida, I should know that we are squarly in McCain’s corner.

This time around McCain’s strongest group appears to be in the 60 and over crowd. I don’t see this state in play. As I keep saying, Obama will not win one southern state.

Based on some of the new state polls, I would be allocating more resources to states like MI, PA, NM, NV, and a bit less to some of the solid southern and western states.

Florida worries me. My projections had it swinging hard towards McCain post convention (in line with NC/MT/OK/OH/ETC), yet its only +2.5 McCain.

Rasmussen said his poll released Monday may have been affected by the hurricane, and that a redo will either confirm the tie or show the actual state of the Sunshine State.
