The swing state of Fla has many veterans. Could be a deciding vote caller there.

The voter Id laws in the swing states were the deciding votes. httpwww.lotterypost.com/blog/18887
This is a backlash to level the field. Was it right, no, were the pubs right in placing voter id in swing states, no.

Lots of seniors in Fla moved their from the years of saving their income. Only need a small percentage of seniors who voted dem in 08 to vote republican this time around.
Many seniors use social security for pocket money.
Most seniors collecting social security will be deceased by the time social security goes broke so their vote for a republican is not going to hurt their monthly check.
They may vote for the betterment of the nation.
