This is exactly the reason why:
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY VS. FLORIDA
2000: R+3.10
2004: R+1.77
2008: D+4.30
2012: D+5.79
ORANGE COUNTY VS. FLORIDA
2000: D+2.05
2004: D+5.22
2008: D+15.81
2012: D+17.32
This would be a huge problem for Republicans if this trend continues, since both counties are getting pretty populated. It would mean Democrats have a 5 large county base when you include the South Florida counties, instead of just the three 3 down there.
Florida is probably not getting as democratic as some other states like Virginia and Colorado though. So it will probably remain super-competitive for a long time.
