Hispanics and the Florida vote

The Miami Herald has an interesting story about the dramatic growth of non-Cuban Latino registered voters in Florida. We've already heard Obama talk about changing (albeit in small measure) U.S. policy toward Cuba, and now McCain is the first Republican to have a non-Cuban as the state's presidential campaign chair. As the election nears, it will be interesting to see how the candidates craft their Florida messages.

I wish the story examined the potential political effects more closely, but then it meandered on to interview people in Florida, such as the Venezuelan who thinks Obama may end up just like Chávez, simply because both had a platform of change.

Trust me, some of them have this phobia, it's like they see Chavez behind every corner.

So it's "Where's Hugo?" instead of "Where's Waldo?"

haha pretty much.

It is a little disturbing some of the emails and even editorials that get sent around.
