what's even more interesting is that Florida is a southern state where democrats usually run ahead of the national party.
The last time when a Democratic POTUS candidate did better in Florida than nationally was 1976, and before that 1956...
He means that in Southern states, Democrats typically do better at the state level than at the federal level and Florida bucks that trend. Now, one explanation could be minority turnout, in non-presidential years, but I think that ignores Republicans strength in the state legislature during presidential years.
