Florida, a Political Drama

With its 27 electoral votes, Florida is the grand prize in this year's presidential election. NPR's Ari Shapiro examines Florida's political mood by comparing it to a literary drama. The story line is complete with revenge, tragedy, nepotism and suspicion. As Election Day nears, the stage seems set for a climactic resolution.
