FLorida Voter Swing

This is good. I don't imagine that it affects the Panhandle so much, but something will have to give. My prediction is that the Panhandle will gradually more isolated in its political leanings and be an aberration in Florida, more strongly linked with Alabama. Of course, a lot of this depends on immigration patterns which could root out the old white-folks and retired military. The main issue is that there are no large universities or new-fangled jobs to keep younger people around so there is little push for internal change.

I'm not holding my breath in the Panhandle, but I, as one voice, am becoming louder.

Because you are usually so shy and retiring.
