Obama started this past week with a Visit to Florida, which may very well be his sunshine state. Although Florida has gone Republican in the last two elections(by close margins), this year seems to be different. In an average of polls, Obama is leading Florida at +2 percentage points, which may owe some credit to the fact that he has "poured people and money into Florida in building the largest field organization ever assembled in the Sunshine State." After holding several rallies, mostly in the south of Florida, The senator flew to Virginia, a state he holds by about 10 percent, where he was greeted by sunshine and smiling faces.
The forecast for the upcoming weekend: sunshine perhaps, with a chance of light drizzle or even heavy rain on the Obama Campaign. Obama plans to travel to Nevada this weekend to address gun control, a large issue in the state. Although Obama seems to have a pronounced lead in urban areas, he is trying to secure at least a 40% vote in some rural areas that are chalk full of people "who just (hate) Obama." Obama has a shakey lead of about 2 percentage points in nevada.

No mention of the visit to Toot? Isn't it kind of a big deal when less than two weeks before the election the leading candidate disappears for two days?
I'd be very interested to hear what Obama's rallies are like. Being one of the contributors to the Palin blog, I'm constantly disgusted to see that every rally she attends consists solely of hardcore republican voters spreading a strong anti Obama message with an overlay of Palin's mudslinging towards him. Whats Obama's approach?
