Was talking to a Bush strategist last night. Giddy might be understating his mood and not just about Arnold and Laura, but about Mel Martinez’s win too. Here is a rough paraphrase: “Now, we’re going to over-perform in the I-4 corridor, in Southeast Florida, and among Hispanics. Any problems we had with Cuban voters are now gone. McCollum underformed Bush when he ran in 2000 and only turned out the GOP base. We’re not going to have that situation this time. We now have a wind at our back in Florida. It doesn’t means its over. Its still is going to be close. But Florida is looking a lot better tonight.”
