BONIFAY, Fla. (AP) — There's a big difference between north Florida and South Florida. As different as Alabama and New England.

And on Tuesday those differences will likely play out as voters decide who to give 99 Republican delegates in the race for president.

In this case, New Yorker Donald Trump may fare better up north, which tends to have a mindset similar to Georgia and Alabama, while Sen. Marco Rubio could do better down south, where the diverse population has many Northeastern transplants, Cuban migrants and retirees.

And the GOP primary will be winner-take-all, which could mean a huge boost for Trump or the death of Rubio's campaign.
