Florida's political history has had its share of political action, not just in the 2000 election. In 1972, both parties held their conventions in Miami Beach.

To the Point's Avishay Artsy went out to Plant City, a town 30 miles east of Tampa on the I-4 corridor. Home to half of the state's Republican voters, it's a barometer for the political direction of this swing state.
