�The state remains a toss-up, which is bad news for McCain as he must win Florida to have any chance of winning the presidency,� said Mason-Dixon managing director Brad Coker. �His best hope could be the racial composition of Florida�s �undecided� voters, of whom, 84 percent are white.� Obama�s mini-surge comes on the heels of a media blitz in which he outspent McCain on television advertising in Florida $4.6 million to $1.6 million during the week of Sept. 28 to Oct. 4, according to a University of Wisconsin study. That does not reflect, however, an additional $1.4 million the Republican National Committee spent on McCain ads during the same period. Obama�s lead is due, at least in part, to a backlash against McCain�s attack ads, said Obama spokesman Kevin Cate. �Floridians are rejecting the McCain campaign�s desperate attacks and attempts to change the subject away from the economy and Florida is now the battleground that the McCain campaign never wanted or anticipated,� Cate said. The poll has Obama and McCain dead even -- at 46 percent each -- in the bellwether Tampa Bay region, which consistently goes for the winner. Republican Party of Florida spokeswoman Erin VanSickle said the poll shows that McCain�s conservative message is resonating, despite Obama�s huge spending advantage. �We�ve always said that Florida will be a crucial state in this election and the constantly fluctuating polls illustrate just that,� VanSickle said. �Our Republican grassroots machine is running strong, our volunteers are excited, and we are confident that the people of Florida will continue to embrace John McCain�s message of reform and leadership and reject Barack Obama�s plans to spread the wealth and take more dollars out of Floridians� pockets.�
