Reply #76: Apparently, Bush doesn't own that vote. There was a long article in

[AP]

either the New Yorker or NYT Magazine about this.

That vote is up for grabs this year.

I feel like an idiot becaue I can't remember the reason why. Apparently lots of those Cubans were huge fans of FDR and it was Jeb who organized them into becoming Republicans, and it was mostly around the wealth created by real estate development (with the anti-Castro shit being merely the red flag they waved, but not really being the organizing principle).

Apparently, somethings been going on in FL -- I can't remember what, but I think it has to do with real estate development -- and it has become harder for Jeb to hold together the coalition.

In any event, Bush isn't polling so well.

I may be totally mis-remembering the details, but I think the bottom line is that W is not polling well among Latinos in FL and the Cuban community is proving to be a very weak spot for him within the Lation community.
