With less than 36 hours to go until Election Day, the candidates are wasting no time trying to convince any remaining undecided voters to pick them. Florida is a close, tight race, and both camps are visiting the state frequently to spread their messages.
Republican presidential nominee John McCain is finishing out the weekend with a "Midnight Rally" at the University of Miami. At the rally at the BankUnited Center, McCain will get a final energetic boost from a huge crowd of several thousand supporters.
"McCain has a proven record," Sylvia Millor exclaimed.
McCain supporters waited anxiously for the Senator, talking about their votes. "We're fighting two wars and we need someone with experience. And Obama, he's not experienced," said Steve Jansen.
For other supporters, Obama's pro-choice stance on abortion was enough to decide their vote. "When a person will allow the slaughter of babies, why should you think he will protect you or keep his promises to you?" Carol Thompson asked.
CBS4 Reporter Michael Williams heard deep-seated and often-repeated anger about media coverage of the election as he walked the crowd. "Every time there is a report on McCain/Palin it is negative, but nothing bad is said about Obama!" Mara Rodriguez accused.
Before heading to the Sunshine State, McCain campaigned in the heart of Pennsylvania, a state many polls put in the "Obama" column. But he believes there is still hope of turning the vote around. "The pundits have written us off…but the Mac is back," McCain said at a rally. Now, McCain supporters hope they can rally the votes they need for the Republicans to take the majority vote in Florida.
