......Lots of conservative retirees. The gulf side has many moderate type republicans boosted by retirees in places like Fort Meyers, Sarasota et.
Florida's West Coast seems to get more Republican retirees from the Midwest while the East Coast gets more Democratic ones from the Northeast. I-75 & I-95 might have contributed to that.
I don't have first hand knowledge of this but I would assume Moderate Republicans would be in places like Palm Beach/Orange/Lake, the West Coast seems more Tea Party-ish to me.
I wonder if The Villages votes more Republican than the FL Panhandle. It's spread out over 3 counties, primarily in Sumter though, so hard to say.
