No, FL primaries are closed. I do not like that system.
If you think "Independents" are going to vote for a Communist...
Our system results in the more independent thinkers (which I prefer) as we've seen with McCain and Flake. Now in presidential primaries, only party members vote in those and they foot the bill for the costs.
Getting back to Florida, thanks for the answer about independents. I'm just a numbers person and that helped me understand what was behind those being presented. Given independents couldn't vote, a 200,000 deficit isn't insurmountable. But then that's only going by the numbers without giving any consideration to political positions.
