Here is the real deal:
Last winter, both Clinton and Obama deferred to the DNC and agreed not to "campaign or participate" in either election; Obama even removed his name from the Michigan slate. So while Clinton "beat" her rival 50-33 in Florida and trounced "uncommitted" 55-40 in the Great Lakes State, one can't help but suspect that not campaigning and/or not appearing on the ballot somewhat affected Obama's showing--NOT TO MENTION that turnout has a way of declining WHEN VOTERS ARE TOLD that the ELECTION DOESNT MATTER
