LOL! Don't worry, Florida will pick up those electoral votes. The next census will make it offical.
and anyone who thinks that Florida is a "swing state" is drinking the Kool Aid.
Florida will pick up two, maybe three. Georgia will pick up one and perhaps North Carolina. Arizona will get one, perhaps two. Nevada and Utah will get one additional.
Utah gets one and it won't be majority NY dems in that district.

I'm not so sure about that. We may pick it up from past growth if such a census occurs soon, otherwise it may show a loss. Insurance increases and disproportionate taxation on property values may start to wear at the Florida market. Even if they can buy homes with cash, they won't want to go without homeowner's coverage and taxes are very high down here now. Florida is no longer a cheap retirement destination, unless you don't have to worry about money at all and can keep up with major price increases. Fix incomers relying on Social Security need not apply.
Thank Heaven for the moritorium against > 3% property tax increases for residents. Otherwise half the state would have been taxed out of their homes. Anyone else buying into the market now needs to prepare for the pain...
