No. FL is VERY military and redneck, lots of Tealiban fundamentalists here. Central FL tends to be more yuppie and very purple. So. FL. is Democratic, that's where we have large Jewish populations and very Hispanic as well. However, the repugs totally own and control the state legislature and have for ages. With people like DWS in power of FL democratic party, you can understand why it's almost non-existent, and so very weak. It's infuriating.
