McCain Receives Thanks from Amnesty Supporters >Hispanics were key to McCain's victory The Miami Herald, January 30, 2008 Support from Hispanics and a last-minute boost from a key endorsement helped John McCain to victory. BY MARC CAPUTO Related Content JEFFERY M. BOAN / EL NUEVO HERALD McCain won Florida's Republican primary with the help of the state's wildly popular governor and some crafty campaigning. The strange race for the presidency -- some late Republican mudslinging, no slinging of anything by Democrats -- has exited the biggest swing state for now, giving the nation a glimpse of the issues and ideas on the minds of voters of all stripes heading into Super Tuesday. In Florida, both candidates can thank one group above all others for their win: Hispanics. Hispanics backed Clinton by a 2-to-1 margin over Barack Obama, according to exit polls conducted by Edison/Mitofsky for the National Election Pool. Pollsters say the Hispanic vote reflects a long-standing trend of voting against black candidates. The Hispanic numbers were even more striking for McCain: 51 percent of Hispanics backed him, with 15 percent supporting Mitt Romney, who came in a close second statewide, and 25 percent for Rudy Giuliani. SIXTH BOROUGH South Florida was supposed to be the sixth borough, New York south for the former Big Apple mayor. But McCain shattered that, winning Miami-Dade with a 37-32 percent margin, boosted by the support of Cuban-Americans and the surprise endorsement of Charlie Crist, the popular governor of Florida. Day-to-day tracking polls by Crist's advisors indicated McCain was losing before Crist stepped in Saturday.
