I also think it's a stretch to say that McCain is a lock for the general election because Hillary voters won't vote for Obama in a general election and vice versa. Maybe there are polls that say this, but I know how you feel about polls.

On the first comment, that's a fair point. I considered that when I reached my conclusion and still felt she'd take Florida, due to the general voter profile for the state.
On Michigan, it was more of a toss up. Hillary could get killed there because of the NAFTA thing, but on the balance, I think the state is demogrpahically close enough to PA and OH that I figured it would trend in the same direction. I could be wrong on that state, very easily.
