The L.A. Times/Bloomberg poll, which had Obama up by three points in Florida three days ago, is now reporting that McCain has a 49-45 lead among Floridians who have already voted. And this after Governor Charlie Crist extended early voting at the urging of Florida Democrats.

The Khalidi Effect? The Wait, This Guy Has Said Some Scary Things Effect? The Infomercial Effect? The Who Exactly Does He Consider Rich Effect? Maybe it’s The Liberal Media Emotionally Blackmailed Us into Lying about Who We Were Going to Vote for Effect? They all have promise!
