...That's about the last thing the McCain campaign needs to hear right now. Florida, run by a Republican Governor and legislature, was supposed to be the Arizona senator's to lose. But while polls through September showed him and Obama in a dead heat, Obama seems to be pulling away as the nation's economic crisis worsens.

Indeed, this laptop gets up to eight hours on a standard six-cell battery. My MacBook gets less than half that...
