Mason Dixon has the resources and does poll non swing states for various reasons. Hell they just finished a poll in North Dakota for example. But that was primarily to poll the close race between Berg and Heitkamp.
Look there are plenty of pollsters you could accuse of being stupid for pulling out of a state, but Mason Dixon isn't one of them. Most on here if they had to rank the pollsters would put them in the top 5 regardless if they were a GOP or Dem poster. They are consistently one of the best pollsters in the business.
If they are willing to essentially risk their reputation on stating that Romney has Florida in the bag(and by extension Nelson has it in the bag) than you've got to take that with some seriousness.
If Obama does take Florida than yes it will be a blow to Mason Dixon's reputation. If they thought that was possible they wouldn't have said anything. On the flip side they think it will probably even strengthen their reputation to be so confident of a Romney victory going into election day.
Lastly, keep in mind that Mason Dixon also has maintained a particular talent for polling Florida historically.
