I agree that some people are now exaggerating how solidly Republican FL is (remember that the FL GOP swept all the non-GOV statewide offices & the House PV by double digits in 2010 and 2014, so it’s not like the state's R lean in down-ballot races is a very recent thing), but I also don’t buy that this race is guaranteed to be as close as some think. There’s nothing too outlandish about predicting a R+6-7 result for both FL-SEN/FL-GOV — Rubio won by eight in a presidential year in which the Republican nominee only carried the state by 1. I don’t even think +8-9 is entirely out of the question, even if it isn’t likely.
Weird how Atlas always oscillates between extremes (FL is going the way of AR -- this race is guaranteed to be razor-thin).
