Folks for years, the Florida GOP has courted the Hispanic vote. I think this was because as many people know, jeb was married to a Latina and spoke fluent Spanish. Anyway, he really went after the Hispanic vote. The national party even hired many Latinos in high level jobs in 2004 which many people think turned the tide for bush in the presidential race. Anyway, every year there is a giant Expo here in Orlando sponsored by the various Hispanic networking groups. Thousands turn out. This year, the GOP didn't even rent a booth. The Orange County Democratic Executive Committee had a booth that was financed by several candidates -- Amy Mercado among them so the booth cost the DEC nothing. Not only this but Gov. candidate Alex Sink spent 2 hours at the expo the longest time a candidate has ever spent there. VIVA DEMS!!!!!
