Unintended Consequences in Florida

According to the latest Rasmussen poll, McCain has a commanding lead over Obama in Florida.  It is more than his lead over Clinton, which is reversed from about every other state.  It sounds like the difficulty over Florida's delegates is having unintended consequences for the Democrats.  Obama's opposition to seating Florida is depressing his numbers, and the question is whether or not that would carry over to the general election.  It also raises the question about whether or not Florida Democrats will be enthusiastic in their support of either candidate if their delegates are not seated after all. 

It will be interesting to see if Florida gets a place at the convention, and if they don't, how it affects turnout in the state.  Needless to say, as a state that has been a battleground state in the past two elections, this could have a significant effect on the race.
