Obama wins Florida and the presidency - Alvaro F. FernandezFor republicans to beat President Obama in November they must win Florida. Political experts tell us that.

The president’s scenario is different. His advisers claim to have drawn a path to victory that doesn’t necessarily have to include Florida. But if Obama does claim the sunshine state, expect a very long evening for republicans in November.

So let’s take a look at the results of the recently completed Republican primary here in Florida to see what we can decipher. I checked out voter turnout and who voted. And I looked carefully at Miami-Dade County – with its cache of bloc-voting Cuban republicans.

My conclusion: As predicted, this will be a tough election year for the President. There’s one good reason: Our economy stinks! But if Florida is a determinant, I believe Obama will be reelected. Let’s see why I take this leap of faith.

First, look at turnout. It’s one way of measuring voter enthusiasm. And there was less this time for republicans than in 2008. Four years ago the Florida republican primary drew almost two million voters. Less than 1.7 million this time around. Not a good sign when you consider that just two years ago, after major republican wins in the midterm elections, many predicted a tsunami of ‘Anybody but Obama’ republican voters. And so far, except for South Carolina (won by Newt Gingrich), that has not been the case. Turnout in Florida, Iowa and New Hampshire has been down – considerably.
