Destination -- Fort Myers, FL

Pres. Obama heads tomorrow to conservative-leaning Fort Myers, FL, to make another hard pitch for his $800B economic stimulus package.

Fort Myers sits in Lee County, which voted in last year's presidential election for John McCain over the Democrat, 55% to 44%. Similar to Elkhart, IN, which Obama visited today, Fort Myers' unemployment rate leads the national average; it has climbed to 10 percent, up from 6 percent last year, according to the Miami Herald.

Remember as well that Obama will get a political boost tomorrow from FL Gov. Charlie Crist, who will introduce the president during the Fort Myers town hall. Crist, a Republican, could help provide the economic plan with some of the bipartisan luster that Obama and congressional Democrats have failed to craft inside the Washington beltway.

Note, too, that in the evening, Obama is scheduled to dine with members of the Blue Dog Coaltion. Eleven House Democrats voted with Republicans against the president's economic plan. Stay tuned to see if he woos any of them successfully back into the fold. The tete-a-tete is closed to reporters.
