Florida's final result/trend lines was most surprising to me because it was all over the place.You had liberal base counties such as Osceola (which has, quite honestly, double-digit trends to Democrats over the last several cycles), Miami-Dade, and Broward trend D.
But, you also had Orange, Palm Beach(!), and strangely enough Volusia trend for Republicans.
Because of poll trends and objectivity to the obvious, I did not expect Mitt Romney to win this election. But I had predicted an easy Florida win for him because I assumed that the early Palm Beach trends I saw would match in the other blue areas---it did not.
So I'd say that the leftward tilt of Dade County is what lost it for Mitt there
