Florida didn't become a swing state until 1992. From the 1960s through the 1980s it was safe Republican (with the exception of Carter 1976), so it really wasn't a surprise to see Bush do so well there.
South Florida is kind of an extension of the suburban Northeast. So when Democrats started doing well in that region, they did better in South Florida as well. In fact, Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties all swung hard to Clinton in 1992, after voting for Bush in 1988.
