The famed movie critic Pauline Kael famously said that she couldn't believe how Nixon won in '72 as "everyone I KNOW voted for McGovern." You can't judge a an electorate by your circle of friends or neighborhood.
My parents live in Boca Raton, the buckle of the Bagel Belt, and all of their neighbors voted for Obama, so I am NOT surprised. Obama won the SE and the Orlando area, which is enough to win the state as a whole.

'I live in a rather special world,' Miss Kael said, continuing: 'I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don't know. They're outside my ken. But sometimes when I'm in a theater I can feel them.'As you can see, her meaning was twisted in the apocrypha. But it sure is a fun anecdote, even if misrepresenting her. :-)--“2 Critics Here Focus on Films As Language Conference Opens,” by Israel Shenker; The New York Times; December 28, 1972; p. 33 (or p.
