Hillary Clinton looked strong there, but the only polls I've seen show McCain with a 5 to 10 point lead. 270toWin: The latest Florida polls have been all over the place. Quinnipiac has Obama up by 4, Rasmussen has McCain up by 8. Florida probably leans a bit more toward McCain in a race with Obama than it would have with Clinton, but it is too far out, in our opinion, to say that it isn't going to be competitive.
