(102,046 posts)I have said, ad nauseum and ad infinitum that I believe the Blue Wall theory is real however like all walls it can be scaled... I don't believe even it's fiercest advocates would dispute that.
I lived in FL from 70-012. I was in Buddy McKay's Ocala mansion when he lost his Senate race to Connie Mack by approximately .O5%.
Your analysis of Florida politics does not comport with reality... How could it when the only Democrat elected to statewide office is a center left Democrat, Bill Nelson, the last three Democratic senators elected from Florida in the past forty years has been center left Democrats; Bob Graham, Lawton Chiles, and Bill Nelson, and the last three Democratic governors elected in Florida in the past forty years have been center left Democrats; Rubin Askew, Bob Graham, and Lawton Chiles.
BTW, Center left Patrick Murphy is doing better in trial heats against presumptive Republican challengers than Alan Grayson.
If the Dems carry FL it will be like candidates like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, the only Democrats to carry the state in the last thirty five years.
