Living in Florida is nothing like I thought it would be prior to moving here. It is definately three states in one.

Up North and to the middle of the state live the highest concentration of conservatives IMO. Once you get down to Palm Beach and Broward, liberals and their philosophy (and screw ups) rule.

Miami-Dade is a contradiction. While we have very vocal and involved liberals, there is also a large group of conservatives that IMO are gaining strength. My hometown, Homestead, just elected a very Pro-Life, fiscal conservative for mayor (she was president of Florida Right to Life). I hope it's a trend.

The Keys are lost and considering the actual population of Monroe is relatively small compared to most areas of the state, I don't see them as an election turner.

Considering the amount of ex-military, mom and pop businesses, farmers etc that live in Florida, you'd think we'd be a very conservative state. The influx of northern liberals and immigrants has drastically changed the makeup.

I have bad news

A lot of northeast liberals are now moving to the north state where I am because it is more affordable and easier to get insurance

those who moved south 20 years ago are moving here and many liberals are moving straight here

the amount of northern liberals to this county where I live and other places is truly saddening.

This is what our local elected officials do not understand, the more gated elitist compounds means more north east liberals and those republicans will be voted out one day

There is talk of bringing another air craft carrier into Jacksonville and with that battle group it will mean over another 20,000 people which means more republicans.
My only hope is that many of the natives get out to vote to off set these people.

Near us is a place called palencia, half million $ homes, they have moved there and after a year they wanted our county to build them a school because they think their kids should not go to the same schools as the native kids.

Bunch of elitist pompous people who say they want diversity yet don’t live it.

There was talk down south part that they wanted their own state as they were fed up of living under republican rule I believe.

You and I could talk for hours I think how Fl is and what needs to be done.

Why do the American north east Jewish folk vote for the Dem, it is that party which is against Israel

I really do not understand and Lieberman needs to get the message out but saying that many of the old people who moved here seem to set in their ways
