McCain returning to Florida

UPDATE: We also hear arrangements are being made to visit the Panhandle.

The McCain campaign is planning a return to all-important Florida, with a stop in Orlando on Aug. 1 as well as a possible visit to Tampa.

The Republican presidential candidate is scheduled to address the National Urban League's annual conference at the Orlando World Center Marriott Resort on Aug. 1. The agenda shows Sen. Barack Obama has been invited as well.

"At this point, we're expecting him," said league spokeswoman Tia Jackson. No word yet from the Obama camp.
