Yeah, remember that the Democrats have a huge concentration problem in Florida. The State is like a sea of Light Republicanism spotted with overwhelmingly Democratic sections. To put it another way, I don't think its possible to draw an Obama-seat outside of Tampa/st Petersburg, Orlando, or Miami area (and maybe jacksonville if done right) without overtly partisan county splits.
You also have to remember that the Republicans are still drawing the map, just with stricter guidelines. The Dems will probably pick up a gimme seat in Orlando, maybe FL-22, and that's about it (and Bill Young's seat when he retires maybe). Its not like the State's 19-6 Republicans JUST because they draw the map
