LBJ said when he signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that he had just written off for the Democrats the South for a hundred years; not true. Obama still won in VA and FL. Clinton won half of the South both times.

Jimmy Carter carried a large majority of the South in ‘76.

Florida's Republicans worked very hard the last 10 years or so stripping ineligible voters from the rolls.

They are to be commended for their work.

Alas, Republicans lost the election.

So, does that mean they stripped too many Republicans off the rolls, or something else?

Let me propose both ~ but there's the Charlie Crist factor. We laugh and joke about him being a big RINO, but he appears to have had a following among Republicans, and they followed him to the Democrats.

I think we need to identify that faction a little more to see what it's about, otherwise we will continue to lose their votes in Florida elections.
