FL is geographically in the south but it isnt culturally in the south, it is part Midwest part NE.

I think there are a great many Floridians who would disagree with you, 'specially in the panhandle. Oh, but I forgot, if they don't live between Miami and Orlando, they don't count.

Native Floridians are deep south, all the rest are transplants...ie...retirees, immigrants.

The Panhandle only has 2.5 CDs out of 25 in the whole state. That's 10% of the population and includes all the 'RATs around Tallahassee. Fact is, they aren't a determining factor of the state any more.
