...DeBenigno says it was an unnecessary one. "We're going to win Florida," she says. "It will be a nail-biter, but our ground game and absentee ballot organization will prove better than Obama's. [Obama] might spend $20 million here, but McCain has 20 years of experience that crosses over into every community in this state, especially Cuban Americans." She believes that informal voter surveys today show Florida's Cuban-American vote is holding steady enough for McCain to give him the state, where Obama has actually held a slight lead in the polls in recent weeks...
...Election Day, in a room somewhere in New York City cut off from the outside world, a small group of media representatives will spend hours poring over polling data from around the country. No cell phones or Internet connections will be allowed, and the group will not emerge until 5 p.m. E.T. to share what they have learned with their bosses.

Russian foreign-currency reserves that stood at almost $600 billion last August have shrunk to $485 billion as the state has been forced to spend to bail out state-run banks and prevent abrupt devaluation of the weakening ruble. There is no telling if the policy has worked, though, and there's worse to come: major state-run corporations such as Gazprom and Rosneft, as well as Russia's regional governments, have accumulated debts amounting to some $448 billion that...
