Florida Democratic Chair Rod Smith Tries to Keep Up Election Momentum

After being the "invisible" party in Tallahassee for several years, Florida Democrats shined in this week's elections. Senate Republicans no longer have a veto-proof "supermajority," and the Democrats picked up at least four seats in the House - including knocking off the incoming speaker. WUSF's Steve Newborn talks with Florida Democratic Chairman Rod Smith about whether the party can keep up the momentum.
