Florida is the most right wing "swing" state [View all]

As close as the elections for POTUS, governor and senator are, Florida seems like a lost cause...and what’s even worse is that the republicans it elects to these offices aren’t even moderates and don’t govern as moderates....you would think that in a state where the elections are less than 2 points that they would try to reach out to their liberal constituency
