OK. I never saw a p-ch used as a sinking device. So it is seeing a gate voltage of something like -2.8, and is not turning on all the way so you're getting the excessive drop across it. Too bad you are out of IO pins. You could combine the two switches onto one analog pin and free up a pin. Then use 2 n-ch. But the blinking light is what most people will want!
