...meltdown of that magnitude unlikely. But that's not to say that Florida in 2008 won't see a presidential vote as close as 2000's. Obama does have an unexpected lead (of an average of about 4 points) over John McCain in the Florida polls. Yet it's narrow enough, and the number of independent voters - almost 20% of the state's electorate - is vast enough, to make this another Panic on the Peninsula, for which every vote matters. "Florida," Gore warned, "can once again decide the outcome of a national election...

An unusually vast Obama ground operation in Florida has galvanized early voting, bringing movie stars like Matt Damon into Tampa for early-voter rallies and holding drum-line marches in Miami's predominantly black communities. Most polls show Obama with a narrow but unexpected lead in Florida, and the lopsided presence of Obama supporters in the early-voting lines, which affords the campaign more pre-Election Day publicity than normal politicking would, "is helping us torque up the vote in as many different pockets of the state as possible," says campaign spokesman...
