Rubio could explain it but the biggest issue is that the Democratic Party is simply that bad in Florida and isn't getting any better and not to mention that the Democratic Vote is very suppressed in Florida. Remember, 9-11% of the Florida Adult population have been disenfranchised by a felony conviction. Chances are, those voters are poor or/and minorities and would probably swing 2:1 for most Democrats against most Republicans.  That would be enough to turn the 48-49 race for the Governor's mansion in 2010 into a 50-48 race and perhaps enough in 2004 to turn the 48-52 race into a 50-50 race and would cause Gore to get over 50% in 2000, even with Nader on the ballot. Then again, other low PVI (3 or lower) states probably do disenfranchise thier citizens, but probably at rates a third as high as Florida's. Beyond the disenfranchisements, there's the shameless gerrymandering that lowers the voting power of many democrats to the point that they simply don't vote. Basically, Florida was flipped the same way DeLay flipped Texas around the same time.
