Republicans Claim Turnout Edge in Orlando Area, 1:20 p.m. E.T. McCain campaign staff in Orlando monitoring turnout at certain heavily Republican and heavily Democratic - but non-African American - precincts say they are seeing stronger voting activity in the right-leaning neighborhoods...
...Florida polls, but whose counsel and on-the-ground knowledge, say backers, has too often been ignored by the McCain campaign's national bosses. "The Senator's economic message has struck a chord with small-business owners here - Jose the Plumber, if you will." And that includes non-Cuban Latinos, she insists, who polls suggest could trend McCain's way in Florida because of their conservative stances on social issues like abortion...

...just non-Cuban Latinos who are changing Little Havana's politics. A half-century after Fidel Castro took power in Cuba, younger and more moderate Cuban-Americans are coming to the fore in Miami - and their votes could be critical to whether or not Obama upsets McCain in Florida, the nation's largest swing state. One of the young volunteers waiting to transport elderly Obama voters is Hector Martinez, 21, a film major at Miami-Dade College who feels an uncanny bond with Obama...
