Florida has had a Republican Gov for the last decade, yes Crist is a RINO but he was the GOP candidate.
Florida is a very conservative state with strong support for things like gun rights and low taxes.
Florida has the 4th most congressional seats (25).
And you don’t mind if Florida goes democrat? I’m guessing you work with Powell on the RNC board.
I don't know how I'm failing to communicate, but I'm not getting my position across. The fact is that FL is a swing state. I'd rather have a reliably patriotic state pick up those seats and FL lose one or two than have an accurate count of illegals in FL that gives them the extra seats.
Imagine that the NBA was considering upping regular shots to 3 points and today's 3-pointers to 6 points, with free throws still at 1 point. Shaquille O'Neal would be thrilled because that downplays his weakness and shifts more points to where he is stronger, which is a very different perspective from watching Shaq cheer for the change and concluding that he's given up on improving his dismal performance. In Florida, we shoot about like Shaq does for free throws, and I'd rather shift more seats to areas of the game where we shoot much better.
