Northern Florida has always been more like the Deep South than Southern or Central Florida.  Even though McCain only got in the high 50s amongst whites in Florida, I suspect it was closer to 80% in the North while Obama probably won the white vote in Southern Florida as you have a large transplanted Northeastern population as well as a large Jewish community.  In fact historically, it use to be Northern Florida that went heavily Democrat and Southern Florida went Republican, but this was back when the Democrats dominated the South and the Southern wing was largely made up of segregationist (i.e. Dixiecrats).  I think post civil rights act, I believe Jimmy Carter was the only Democrat to do well in Northern Florida and he was a southerner himself, while Gerald Ford was from Michigan.
