Good Morning, I'm Kimberly McBroom.
Politics continue casting a shadow over the Sunshine State.
Florida's Secretary of State says George W- Bush holds a 300- vote lead over Al Gore.
But the Presidential race isn't over yet.
There are still many absentee ballots to be tallied by the Friday night deadline.
Meanwhile, several counties are still holding recounts or fighting for recounts.
Jennifer Jones is standing by with the latest from Florida.

A new day will likely bring new developments in the battle for the Presidency.
As of last night, Florida's Secretary of State said George W- Bush led Al Gore by 300- votes.
Still, in several counties there are continuing recounts or fights for recounts.
And there are a few days left before absentee ballots have to be tallied.
Meanwhile, the candidates themselves are said to be handling the tense situation okay.
Bush's brother says he's "very calm" as he awaits the final outcome.
Meanwhile, Gore and running mate Joseph Lieberman have emerged from seclusion.
