Of all ballots cast in Florida November 4, John McCain actually led Barack Obama by five points, according to a new Associated Press study. Wowza. But Obama led the Maverick by 11 percentage points in early and absentee voting, thus winning the state. Nearly one-third of all votes cast in Florida were by mail or before Election Day.

Guess all the Republicans really did have a reason to want Charlie Crist's snowy-white head when he extended early voting hours.
