Why was anybody getting it wrong with Florida?
(The state votes like Ohio.)
It's voted to the right of the nation in every single election since 1948. For the past 16 elections, Florida has been center-right. Ohio has the same case in most of the last 16 elections with a few exceptions like 1964 and 2004. Florida also voted for Bush in 1992. Yes, in very recent elections, they've had the same voting record, but the states are nothing alike internally and have very different demographics. Finally, the last two elections have been upsets with Obama winning Florida. McCain had a 53-38 point lead at one time and Obama pulled out of the sunshine state with 2-3 weeks left in the 2012 election. It's a purplish-red state.
