...examination of his past? He doesn't have a long record to examine. Most of his time in the Senate he's been out running for President - something he's done very well, and that's a point in his favor. But I think there's been a decided lack of interest in [his record]. There were media outlets who barely touched the Rev. Wright example. And that was a compelling story. I think that's an example of how the Obama bandwagon has caught up a lot of journalists...
...registered voters since 2004, and almost half of them have come in 2008 alone, leading many to wonder if the database has been able to keep up. And Florida's spiking home foreclosures spell the risk of thousands being stricken from the rolls simply because their new address (or lack of one) suddenly doesn't match what's on file. Voters removed from the rolls get a provisional ballot that county elections supervisors are supposed to verify later; but in 2004, Florida ended up counting only 36% of the provisional ballots cast, far below the national average...

Florida Republican Governor Charlie Crist wants to scrap such machines, saying, "I get a receipt when I go to the bank or get gas, so why not for the most precious thing we have - the vote?"

I visited the Democratic headquarters Sunday evening and found four dozen or so volunteers busily making calls inside; a few were even outside on their cell phones for lack of space. The Republican headquarters, by contrast, was empty and locked...
...colleagues at the other major networks surely have the same (lack of) ambition. News organizations are desperately trying to avoid the stumbles of 2000, when the networks botched the election by calling Florida for both Al Gore and George W. Bush, only to retract those projections. Since that debacle, the networks have faced enormous pressure to make the right pick, while still beating the competition to the airwaves. "My instructions are to make sure you get it right," says Dan Merkle, director of ABC's "Decision Desk" and the man with final say over that network's projections...
