Who better than a funeral director to bury the last Florida Dixiecrat.

Boyd was elected in '96, which I would argue is in the post-Dixiecrat era. Plus he's a fairly moderate Democrat except for his obsession with privatizing social security.

Why is Boyd so deeply in trouble, exactly? (For he does indeed seem a goner.)

He voted for HCR and had a rough primary.

FL-2 swung against Obama in '08 like Appalachia. Rough territory.

he voted for HCR, he is in the wrong district in the wrong year and he got only 52% of the vote in the primary.

He's probably not this far gone, but his district is also highly polarized between Liberal Tallahassee and the Conservative rural areas.  He's exactly the kind of candidate that could be beaten in an election with a big midterm turnout gap.
