It's McCain by a whisker -- so far

in Florida, as of yesterday, but my dad, who is sometimes right about these things, thinks that Colin Powell's endorsement will reverse that and give Obama the lead by Election Day.

It's within the MOE, but a lot of the newer polls they list appear to me to be more favorable to Obama. I wouldn't count on either outcome, but just looking at FiveThirtyEight's numbers, it's certainly possible your father is correct here.
