In 2008, Florida suffered delegate losses in both parties because it "frontloaded" it's primary to January 29, 2008, before the February 5th start date apppointed by both parties. On the Democratic side, all of Florida's delegates were invalidated and on the Republican side, 1/2 of them were.
In 2012, Florida again frontloaded it's primary and again lost 1/2 of it's delegates to the Republican National Convention.
This time, Florida is moving it's primary BACK instead of UP:
The Green Papers What s New
I consider this a positive development and it also puts Florida right inside one of the traditionally busiest months in Primary electioneering. I have to get to work now, will right now about what I consider the importance of this development later.

On 19 March 2015, Florida Governor Richard L. "Rick" Scott (Republican) signed HB 7035 / SB 7036. The law moves the state's Democratic and Republican Presidential Primaries from "the first Tuesday that the rules of the major political parties provide for state delegations to be allocated without penalty" to "the third Tuesday in March" -- 15 March 2016.
