Probably the fact that you have to put the caveat that parts of the state are southern is why people don't consider it southern. It's a pretty wide spread thought outside Florida, apparently. The discussion even made it on a nationally televised series called, "You Don't Know Dixie" on the History Channel
http://www.history.com/shows/you-don.../episode-guide that discussed everything from which states are southern to what a "southern" accent is. If you haven't heard this before, you haven't been far out of Florida.
