The 2012 Elections in Florida is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the state’s changing political landscape. Crew and Anderson capture the big picture of Florida’s political dynamics in 2012 while also marshalling much data to support their observations and illustrate important trends. Florida is the third largest state in the nation population-wise, a key swing state in presidential elections, and a kaleidoscope of distinct but shifting constituencies. If you want to understand Florida politics today, you must read this book.
