The Herald was chock full of good stuff this morning. Here's some of that as well as a few items from other SoFla mainstream media outlets.
A- Herald: She's more than chonga.
B- Herald: Oy.
C- Herald: A single day record for Tri-Rail. Time to cut services!
D- Herald: Chickens!
E- Herald: American Airlines now charges to check ANY bags.
F- Herald: The new Jewfish Creek Bridge opens tonight, just in time for Memorial Day weekend.
G- Herald: Michael Putney.
I don't expect McCain or Obama to get into nitty-gritty policy details, but we're ready for some straight talk on Cuba, not the same old tired clichés. Pandering to Cuban Americans has been raised to an art form by both parties ever since Ronald Reagan went to the Dade County Auditorium in 1983 and thundered, ''Cuba sí, Castro no.'' But we're well past the point where a candidate can win Cuban-American votes simply by being ``for Cuba'' and ''against Castro.'' It'll also take more than showing up at Versailles in a guayabera and sipping a cafecito.
H- Sun-Sentinel: Record heat in SoFla yesterday.
I- SunPost: How to celebrate Memorial Day weekend in Miami Beach without getting arrested.
J- CBS4: Can you hear me now? Send your cell phones to Cuba, but don't visit.

Wow. If Putney is saying it, then it's definitely a message that is resonating locally.
B - Wow... Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Jerry wakes up from anesthesia and the dentist and nurse are tucking in their shirts haha
C - Why not? This is the same city that chose to shut down 3 of 6 lanes on 95N this morning during rush hour traffic. Message to Miami DOT - F YOU
E - You know, there are other solutions to charging for bags but a lot of airlines are closed minded. $15 aint too bad but Im hoping my status w/ AA will get the fee waived.
F - I thought they changed the name of that fish?
Thanks for the great references Rick!
Just wanted to show you guys the reasons why some of us think Hillary is the better candidate (this is not to show anyone up, but just to suggest my reasoning):

Clinton runs considerably better in Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, winning all 3 while Obama takes only PA.
I'm not saying Obama can't make gains there, but be warned that he's lost a lot of the initial crossover appeal...and we could be staring at 4 years of McCain.

If you look closely at polls, most of them have a margin of error anywhere from one to five or more percentage points. No survey or poll is perfect.
The link you posted shows McCain beating Obama by 4 points in both Ohio and Florida with an average margin of error for each survey of about 2.6 points. Though this leaves McCain ahead, it's only by very, very little. Once you take Clinton out of the picture completely and people know their only major-party choices are either McCain or Obama, you'll see these numbers change a bit more drastically.
One also has to realize that there is still a long road to the White House and I believe there's going to be a few surprises along the way before people make up their minds. Obama hasn't even been to Florida enough times to really connect with people and for those to make their final decisions.
asponge: you really, really need to read tbogg.
