Miami-Dade County is rapidly becoming a nightmare for the GOP. With 2012 turnout patterns Crist wins the state by at least 2-3%. The oldest Cubans are about 65% R or more while the youngest ones seem to vote D at the same rate as other Hispanics.

The embargo shouldn't be a big issue and change things much. Dade County I can see becoming a 67-75% Democratic county in the future that will anchor Florida Democratic wins.

Somehow the party will screw it up.

Older Cubans view themselves as white. Younger Cubans and other Caribbeans who make up Florida's Hispanic population feel as under attack as the Mexicans do by GOP rhetoric.

I don't understand why people are so surprised that one generation is different from the previous one.
