"If we’re going to have free trade with China, why not Cuba?" - Paul Ryan

[Mr. Morden]

Lots of Midwestern members of Congress from both parties are anti-embargo for Cuba, because of the potential profits for farming states.  (Not to say that there isn't principle involved for some of them as well.)  However, standard operating procedure is that the VP candidate changes his positions to align with the guy at the top of the ticket.  So all that really matters here is Romney's position.
