In Kelly’s race against Cannon, he found 33% of the vote because those were “yellow dog Democrats.” They would vote for a yellow dog if it were running as a Democrat. Indeed, they were so determined not to vote for a Republican, that they found, to their surprise, that they were willing to push for the “British Reformed Sectarian” candidate, without the least clue what that meant, nor who he was. You can perform extensive exit polling if you like, but that’s what happened.

In the race of Tart against unknown Democrat, Tart found 18.8% of the vote. These were yellow dog Republicans. They were surprised to find that they could bring themselves to vote for a Constitution Party candidate, even one they’d never heard of, rather than vote for a Democrat.

Given that it was Florida, my guess would be that these are fairly typical results, with one or two counties more extreme or possibly trending the other way. There are about a third of voters who cannot bring themselves to vote Republican and a bit less than a fifth who can’t bring themselves to vote Democrat.

You know what they say about Florida voters…if you have four Florida voters, there’s a fifth around somewhere.
