TAMPA, Florida (CNN) - Barack Obama may lead John McCain by just 2 points in the latest CNN Florida poll of polls, but the enthusiasm gap appears a bit wider.
John McCain’s first rally of the day, in Tampa outside Raymond James Stadium, only drew about 1,100 people. Local reporters noting that at almost the same spot just before the 2004 election, President Bush drew about 15,000 people. Two weeks ago, Obama drew an estimated 8,000.
Republican Gov. Crist, who had previously agreed to do interviews with CNN and various local affiliates, bolted right after the rally with no explanation.

A true reflection on his support right now. Very low.
He'll draw a small crowd at the polls tomorrow too.
PALIN / JOE THE PLUMBER 2012 !
Sad, very sad..........time to head to "Sun City" and hang up the "My friends" crap and retire..........................It is time for the next generation to correct the mess the "Baby Boomer" has left behind..........
Hop on the Obama Express and vote out of hope and not fear!!!!
VOTE DEMOCRATIC TOMORROW AND GET RID OF ALL OF THE HYPOCRITICAL NEO CONS!!!!
After Mccain loses the election,maybe Joe the plumber, well teach him how to unplug toilets
Is anyone with any semblance of common sense surprised....McCain is a hack, I cannot wait until this election is over so I do not have not to hear this corpse and his ignorant accomplice anymore.
Equals reality check – or perhaps checkmate! Fewer & fewer crowds into oblivion we go. And the winner is...?
I have 2 digits and 2 words for all who are still wavering on the Presidential choice:
72; age of Senator John McCain who's a hero,
and
Sarah Palin.
Seriously, think about that people.
I'm convinced am smarter than this lady, and I don't kid myself for a minute that am smart enough to be President.
nobody knows what's gonna happen. they can still win Florida. Go McCain Palin!
The reason Palin not revealing her medican record is she has to hide somthing, we will know it soon or later she can not hide it forever. Palin = liar= Evil= Animal Killer.
Gov. Crist was hurrying to get on line to vote early for Obama/Biden.
During the primaries, I became acutely aware of the biases of certain media outlets, they have been so obvious this year that I lost total respect for the "journalists" providing the news to the American public. I used to listen to one or two stations and now I find I have to listen to at least three to get ALL SIDES of a story.
Charlie Crist bolted because he doesn't want to be tied to a loser. With that said, this race is not over. People do not take anything for granted. Please vote!!!!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... what a joke this once great man has become!
He's losing.
He should call out Rick Davis and his pack of "so last century" fools who are guilty of political malpractice.
As for me...I was called by Obama workers to show up at my local Obama headquarters tomorrow @ 7:00 a.m. to give people rides to the polls...and I'll be there!!
McCain/Bush is a loser. He never draws very big crowds. Obama drew over 100,000 poeple at his rally two weeks and in the same area, McCain had less than 500 people. What a joke.
The problem is most people voting Republican are voting for Palin NOT McCain which is very disturbing. Most Republicans don't like McCain and it is evidenced by the lackluster crowds when he speaks alone.
How in the world can anyone take America seriously if Palin and Joe the Plumber are more electable than someone with a Harvard education who has run one of the best campaigns in history.
We really can't have that many dumb people in this country – can we?
This is an indication of how out of touch the McCain – Palin ticket is with ordinary American people. I bet these are special people or lobbyists who attended the republican campaign rally.
This year the repubs are going down in a hand basket.
where is Joke the Puppet?
John, tomorrow will be the end of your sorry political career. You have run the most despicable, vile campaign in US history and you will pay dearly. Arizona and Alaska will go to Obama and you will exit stage left in disgrace. Everybody has seen who you and Palin really are and you will reap 7 times over what you have sown.
Goodbye and good riddance McCain
Obama/Biden 2008/2012.
the only thing i can give the mccain/palin campaign credit for; is that they made all of the closet racist come from hiding right into the spotlight.
Fighting a lost battle. He also wants to keep fighting in Iraq even when the iraqis want US troops to withdraw. McCain just doesn't get it.
He has nothing to say of substance so why listen?
They have gone to Vote for McCain ????!!!
