(as somebody posted recently) Pretty much. Older retirees tend to lean Republican, while the non-Cuban minority groups lean mostly Democrat. | ||

(as somebody posted recently) it's incredibly conservative in huge swaths of rural areas. but the cities are democratic strongholds. influx of blue immigrants from new york always a factor. complex immigrant dynamic with red cubans and blue mexicans | ||

We should all root for Romney to win Florida for the sole purpose of making the night more entertaining. | ||

There are very few uncounted votes in the red ones. So barring a huge surprise in how these traditionally blue counties vote I'm guessing an Obama win. And I'm calling GG because Romney absolutely NEEDS FL. There may be a recount, however. | ||

I think there's a more-than-insignificant chance we won't have to because Obama will win enough to get the EC without Florida. Though they'd still recount it I guess. | ||
