Can Romney win without Florida? Discuss with maps etc.

It's a good thing that the people of Florida generally prefer Republicans.

Really? I seem to recall Florida having a Democratic Senator who's going to win re-election, an extremely unpopular Republican governor, and the state having gone for the Democrats 3 out of the past 4 Presidential elections. The FLGOP is in power in the Legislature, but that's because they've gerrymandered themselves into power and won't relinquish it.

That's a bizarre line of spin, given that they also have a Republican senator, that Republican governor had to win election in the first place, and unless you are assigning your own results to FL-2000, the 3rd isn't correct either.

Said Republican Senator did not win a majority of the vote, said Republican governor barely squeaked past a poor campaigner in a Republican wave year and only won by blowing millions of his own dollars on the race,  and I'm using what the actual result of the popular vote was after a recount, not after the SCOTUS took it upon themselves to stop democracy.
