Not that bad of a move. Joe Garcia has the same position.


Any Cuban who still gives a damn about the embargo is going to vote for Scott anyway.

Majority of elderly Cuban Americans. The younger ones don't care.

Obama almost won Cubans. Crist could I think, especially if he wins comfortably like some of the polls have shown.

We'll see how it goes for Crist this fall.

How much $$$ does Crist have leftover from his 2010 US Senate campaign ?

Atlantic Council: 79% of Florida's Cubans want to engage with Cuba, only 21% don't. 63/30 overall, 50/41 among Republicans.

Didn't Obama actually narrowly win the Cuban vote in Florida in 2012, according to exit polls?

I think he narrowly won the election day vote but Romney won Cubans overall (absentees/mail-ins).

A commendable and somewhat risky move. But not particularly relevent to the office of governor considering the ban is federal.

This is really a nonissue but it separates him from Gov Scott which is what he needs.
