I don't know if "doomed" is the right word.... Yes, he is going to have a hard time, but I can see it going either way. Obama is just going to have to work hard.
Major cons against him in FL: He has campaigned in the state since 2004 for various state officials including Charlie Crist and is buddies with Jeb Bush (Who will no doubt come out of the woodwork to support him).
Another con: Voter base: A large Hispanic population that tends to side with Bush, Martinez, and Crist. Also a huge retired, military population; The 2nd largest VA hospital in the country is in my backyard in Tampa Bay.
However, a pro for Obama is that the younger crowd in many of the large city areas like him over McCain. Will that win the state? We shall see...
