How Democratic would Jolly's district be?

The kind that went for Obama by eight or ten points.

Some very tentative rumblings are suggesting that Jolly may run for Senate, with the Republican candidate replacing him being former St. Pete Mayor Rick Baker - someone with a proven ability to win black voters (albeit in a municipal race), and someone who'd be the frontrunner against anyone save Crist.

Baker said no to running here before St. Pete was added, I don't know why he'd say yes now.

Probably. But i would like to know more about how he gets his crossover appeal. A moderate pragmatist?

As Mayor, Baker focused heavily on investing in Midtown - bringing in a new library, new post office, that kinda thing - and building relationships with the African-American community in St. Pete through moves like appointing a deputy mayor for Midtown (though that was in a race with no partisan labels).

Interesting clash between Susannah Randolph (Grayson's district director and wife of Orange County Tax Collector Scott Randolph) and State Sen. Darren Soto seems to be brewing in the Democratic primary for FL-09.

Court-mandated redraw of district lines means he'd near-certainly have to run in a D-heavy district (in a Presidential year, no less). He's currently leading in the primary polls, and even if he loses, this sets him up a lot better for 2018 (with five statewide offices on the ballot) than losing re-election this year does.

The Court has made it all but certain that the new FL-13 will include his home.

Difference is people actually respect and like McClintock, unlike Crist.
