North and parts of Central Florida are very much like South Georgia...the Deep South.
Yes but then you have the CDs that elect Alan Grayson [Orlando] and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, not to mention the assigned minority districts for the likes of Alcee Hastings and the like. DWS is a born-in-NYC who drank the koolaid with her mother's milk and brought it down with her. You also have family legacy candidates like Gwen Graham, daughter of former governor/senator Bob Graham, who took the CD around Tallahassee this year (60% Dem. gov & union workers.) And the Tampa CD returned another family legacy in Kathy Castor, daughter of a locally prominent Dem. family.
So overall Florida is not quite 'Deep South'!
