Yes, it is more conservative like a lot of N. FL but it is sparcely populated when compared to the central and southern areas of the state. Lots of empty farm land. The panhandle could actually be more compared to southern Alabama. The exceptions are the military enclaves of Eglin and Pensacola and the military retiree strip along the Gulf Coast, Ft Walton, Panama City, etc.. All still conservative but they have a lot of young ethnic recent military enlistees that find the president more appealing than Rmoney.
