This is your Political Rundown for November 3, 2008 – we’re tracking coverage from CNBC, CNN and NBC.

Just one day until the U.S. Presidential election, and Barack Obama and John McCain are making their final push to voters. CNBC covered the McCain campaign in Pennsylvania. John McCain is hoping to turn a seven-point deficit in the Keystone State. Pundits say such a strategy is essential because he’s vulnerable in unexpected places.

“The problem is, the ticket is spending most of its time defending states carried by President Bush in 2004. Such as Virginia, where Democrats are bullish about winning for the first time in 44 years.” (CNBC)

CNN also covered the McCain campaign  - this time in Florida. The Sunshine State was key to Republican victories in each of the last two presidential elections.

“He’s only down two points in the Sunshine State. These critical 27 electoral votes. McCain aides believe they are surging in some of these battlegrounds, but they also know they have very little room for error.” (CNN)

Let’s go back to CNBC – this time their coverage of Barack Obama. While McCain was trying to convince battleground voters to hire him to lead the nation, Obama spent Sunday with another kind of Boss.

“One last full day of campaigning before election day, and all across the Midwest, big battleground states like Ohio, thousands of voters coming to rallies like this one for Senator Obama featuring the music of Bruce Springsteen. The big issues here, obviously, manufacturing, jobs and taxes. But they’re all trying to get that edge in a pivotal state like this one.” (CNBC)

NBC’s Meet the Press took another perspective on the so-called Bradley Effect. The effect takes its name from Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley’s 1982 California gubernatorial defeat after he had led the polls.  

“Peggy Noonan wrote about something a while ago called the reverse Bradley effect. And that’s something we might actually be seeing, is that people might not be willing to say that they’re supporting Barack Obama publicly. But they’ll go into the booths, the reverse of what we’ve seen with the Bradley effect,  where people tell pollsters one thing and then go and do something else. In this case, they might tell pollsters they’re not supporting Barack Obama because it’s not popular in their family or their community, but they may be supporting him when they actually go in the booth.” (NBC's Meet the Press)
