Now Larry don't SHOUT, we can hear you just fine. :-)
If it doesn't work that way in AZ that is OK, but in FL with the outside air 
exchanger closed off the overwhelming source of air is from within the 
structure and the moisture content of that air (absolute and relative) is 
reduced by the action of the air conditioner. 
 Think of an air conditioner as a really large 'DeHumidifier'. :-)  Most 
dehumidifiers use a 'condensing coil' as well as an 'evaporation coil' in 
order to remove moisture from a room/structure. The main difference in 'most' 
air conditioners and 'most' dehumidifiers is the size of the coils and air 
handlers used. The way 'most' dehumidifers work is by passing room air over 
the coils and the condensate ,derived from being passed over the 'cool' coil, 
is drained away from the unit to a pan or to an outside drain. size of coils 
and proportions of each to the other effect the dehumidifying capacity of 
these units.

  Now this applies to "air conditioners" (mechanical) and not "air 
conditioners" (evaporative) which you may find in large commercial 
installations and are more properly called "evaporative coolers".

 The AHD says:
"air conditioner- n.
An apparatus for controlling, especially lowering, the temperature and 
humidity of an enclosed space".

 But then I am just a poor ole country boy with mud lines on my 
ankles........so what do I know! :-)
