...DiBenigno, 42, is right about the solidifying of the Cuban vote, then trends in the middle of the state, especially along the all-important I-4 Corridor, and the north, where regions like the northwest Panhandle are very reliable GOP terrain, would indeed bode well for McCain in Florida. "Our chances look very good right now," says DiBenigno, who has come under criticism among Republicans the past couple months for McCain's slip in the Florida polls, but whose counsel and on-the-ground knowledge, say backers, has too often been ignored by the McCain campaign's national bosses...
...Monday, Obama, who holds a slight lead over McCain in Florida in most polls, hit Jacksonville, a key pocket of the state's more conservative north. At the same time, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, at the end of the politically fluid I-4 Corridor, McCain held a rally that didn't bode well for his comeback bid for Florida's 27 electoral votes.

...other side of the tracks - literally Amtrak's line from Washington to Richmond - the county's eastern corridor is one of the fastest-growing areas in the state, home to a Latino population that has swelled from about 5% of the population in 1990 to approximately 20% in 2007. Along the Occoquan and Potomac rivers, the state's northern and eastern borders, historic black neighborhoods argue for space with new developments: golf courses, strip malls, gated communities, retirement villages - many that stand half finished, caught off guard by the subprime crisis. Such bedroom communities have been the worst...
