A busy final Monday in the Sunshine state. McCain shivs Romney with a last minute attack ad. Romney swings the ugly stick back at “liberal” McCain in the last media cycle. Polls show some late movement to McCain off the Crist endorsement. It’s close. McCain seems to have some Crist momentum, but the Romney organization is deeper. Rudy has banked some absentee voters, a chunk of whom probably wish they had their vote back to go to McCain as Rudy melts away. One early tea leaf to watch tomorrow night: early Election Day vote returns in Hillsborough county. St. Pete is longtime Charlie Crist country. Romney has been doing well there. If returns show strength for McCain, it’s an indicator that Gov. Charlie has had a potentially decisive impact. Meanwhile, the Clinton campaign is making crafty attempt to drop in to Florida and claim a “win” in a nonbinding contest. But if the margin is closer for Obama than early polls predicted, say under 15 points, media may call it an Obama win. Should be yet another interesting Election Day in Florida.
