In this photo taken Oct. 9, 2012, Photo, Erin Mitchell poses with a President Obama campaign sign at her home in St. Petersburg, Fla. Which way Florida swings in presidential elections is largely due to the transient nature of its population. A constant influx of new residents, like Mitchell, can make a difference from one election cycle to the next. Mitchell moved to Florida from Boston and had lived in Chicago before that. She used to be a Democrat, then registered as a Republican and is now an independent. She voted for Republican George W. Bush in 2000, but went for Democrats John Kerry in 2004 and Barack Obama in 2008. (AP Photo/Chris O’Meara)
