MIAMI — In a sign that Democrat Barack Obama will be competitive in Florida, the nation's largest swing state, a new poll shows that Obama is leading Republican John McCain comfortably in South Florida and has a slight edge among Hispanics.

The poll for The Miami Herald shows Obama preferred by a 46-30 percent margin over McCain in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, Florida's most populous area. South Florida traditionally votes Democratic, but the size of the margin often dictates whether the Democrat wins in a statewide contest.

Democrats stood by and allowed Kerry to be defamed in 2004. This is why he lost.

Similar lies are appearing all over Florida newspapers, especially the Miami Herald. Let's see if DU answers this series of lies.

4. I think Kerry only won Miami Dade - Broward counties by like 54-46% margin

or something rather close...If Obama can get close to 60% or better, then I think he can win the state....The key is to do well in South Florida..

6. Ok, but where are the state-wide numbers.

If I recall, Democrats normally do well in South Florida?
