Ted, The history of the Cubaño in America is one of conservatism. Their vote for Bush in 2000 is nothing new. I thought more Hispanics still vote Democrat over Republican? The irony of it all is that when Janet Reno upheld the law and "deported" Elian Gonzales to his father, she pretty much cost Al Gore his chances of winning Florida. Could be one huge reason why both parties are afraid of how the Hispanic community would react to any solution to the illegal immigration problem. Tenchusatsu

nRE:"Isn't his wife a Latiña......probably Cuban American?" Colomba is from Mexico. RE:"The history of the Cubaño in America is one of conservatism. Their vote for Bush in 2000 is nothing new." Yes, traditionally they vote republican. When they first came from Cuba they were the best and brightest. That's why they left the communist regime. Thing is though that the population of So. Fla has grown to the extent that the Cubans are now outnumbered by Latinos from other coutries that didn't flee for the same reasons and are more liberal.
