Kerry came within 5% of Bush in Florida. Seeing as how the Republican nominee is unlikely to be as far right as Bush, this creates the likelihood that a ticket with Obama on it is enough to close the 5% gap since he cancels out a some of Hillary's polarizing effect. And don't forget that Bill Clinton took Florida in 1996.
