The candidate arrived on the same day early voting begins in Florida. Obama's camp clearly sees the state as a possible win now, with polls giving a slim, 3-point edge, and they know how the I-4 corridor will likely push the state blue or red.

Five members of the Tampa Bay Rays introduced Obama, including Fernando Perez, Carl Crawford and rookie pitcher David Price.
