"no one else is more responsible for the fact that florida has been a gop stronghold than bill clinton"
I find that a little hyperbolic.
There were probably a lot of factors, among them, the courting of the Cuban refugee population by the Republics?
Blaming the big dog seems a bit off to me, unless you have some documentation.
I think Bill probably won there, because, he was so good at appealing across boundaries, got a really large majority of the Jewish vote, women, etc.
It's how he won everplace else?
it might feel hyperbolic from so far away. politics is messy, and those involved in it get muddy. i don't feel a need to ignore the effects just because others don't want to hear it. he didn't win here because he destroyed the party. he won here despite the fact that he destroyed the florida democratic party. it was a stupid thing to do, and a complete waste of intellectual and political time...
