Cenk, not so fast, my friend. Your assumption about Tallahassee being conservative is not borne out by the facts. A review of past elections shows Leon County (where Tallahassee and FSU are located) and Alachua County (mainly Gainesville, where UF is located) to consistently go for the more liberal, read Democratic, candidates. Surprise!! No wonder the current GOP legislature tries to disenfranchise students and gerrymandered Tallahassee in with the much more conservative neighboring areas. Tallahassee/Leon County is also responsible for ejecting Rep Southerland from office in favor of Bob Graham’s daughter, Gwen.
