Fox Hints on Ohio and Florida?

They're not calling them yet, but....

Ohio voters give Bush a 50% approval rating, 49% disapproval.

That's tight.

But last time I checked, 50% was bigger than 49%. The alligator goes right after the 50% and slaps the 49% in the mouth with its tail.

In Florida, Bush gets 55% of the Hispanic vote to Kerry's 45%.

This seems like good news to me. No? Answer: Not necessarily. Bush had wanted 60%. Answer: Yes. See update.

On the other hand: Kerry's doing very well with military familes. Bush is beating him, but not by the margin he should be beating him by.

Update-- Kristol Corrects: Bush didn't expect to win 60% of Hispanics. Last time, in 2000, he won Hispanics 50-48. So 55% is a marked improvement.
