More trends in the horserace:

Two new Florida polls came out - Bush is up by 4 and 5, respectively.

Bush is up 4 in the latest Nevada poll - which is unchanged.

Bush is up 5 in the latest New Hampshire poll, which reflects a modest gain.

Also, Kerry pulled his staff from Virginia, which was once considered a swing state, and is sending them to either Minnesota or Wisconsin. This is not the sign of a winning campaign folks. Gore won Wisconsin and Minnesota and Kerry is pulling troops from a potential pickup and using them as a tourniquet in either Wisconsin, where he has been down big ever since his "Lambert field" gaffe, or Minnesota, where he is tied but may still be fighting the Paul Wellstone memorial backlash. You can learn a lot about the race by watching where they spend their money. Their strategies are based on internal polls that they believe to be accurate. So, with all this "wave of momentum," why is Kerry pulling troops from a potential pickup and placing them into states to defend?
