It's a weird state. It takes forever to call but you get an idea of what direction it's going well before polls closed.

Obama led in Florida in both 2008 and 2012 for a bulk of the night, despite an early McCain/Romney lead.

Bush led in Florida from start to finish in 2004.

But then, who knows? Turnout could be the deciding factor and Hillary might win it by a comfortable enough margin where it's called earlier than expected.
