Do you really think there are that many independents in fla? I do not.Look at the way the south is going and fla is no different. dont say snowbirds because they cant vote twice.i dont think they will take the chance.
Florida is just barely a southern state culturally. The panhandle and parts of the gulf coast may be, but the populous atlantic coast and especially southern florida is more like NY than Mississippi.
LOL--I have a theory that some voters in Florida register sans party affiliation to lessen the amount of incoming phone calls and flyers in the months leading up to the elections.
One in five Florida voters is an indepedent.
