Kerry needs a big turnout in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. Bush needs big numbers in the Panhandle and the southern Gulf Coast. Both sides want to win the area stretching from Tampa to Orlando to Daytona Beach--the fastest-growing area in the state...

Nixon, they argue, is just now in the process of mobilizing an extraordinary new G.O.P. coalition from blocs pirated from, or abandoned by the Democrats???the South, Catholic ethnics, blue-collar workers, the noncollege young?along with more traditional Republican voters.
