>I am sure that's true. Blacks hate Latinos esp. Cubaños. And maybe you haven't noticed but Obama is half black.

Maybe. But the polling among Latinos show that they overwhelmingly support Obama over McCain, more than the rest of the country on average.


Yes, I posted that too fast. What I should have said is that Cubaños normally vote Republican; blacks Dem. McCain is saying that they are overcounting blacks in that one poll and undercounting Cubans.....and I suspect they are right. Even the Obama campaign is saying some of the polls that came out yesterday on key states like FLA do not agree with their internal polls.

And to further elaborate on what I posted....blacks and Latinos in CA do not like each other. That's why so many CA Latinos voted for HRC during the primary. Given the latest CA polls, it would seem they've come around to supporting Obama.

As for blacks and Cubaños......I have no idea why I posted what I posted......I don't know how Cubans and blacks get along in Miami. Probably there is tension between the two groups.....but that's speculation on my part. In addition, its important to note that Cubans see themselves very different from other Latinos.
