There hasn't been a mass exodus of Cubans in 30 years. Their children are coming of voting age, and more likely to vote Dem. Plus, Cuban-Americans no longer a majority of Hispanic Floridians, they are just a plurality (40%). Puerto Ricans #2 at 25%, Venezuelans fastest growing group. Lots of Colombians here, too.

If you want to believe polls that give Obama the Cuban vote... HooptieWagon Nov 2012 #22
