Video: The Miami-Dade Wild Card
In Miami, non-Cuban Latino voters are more concerned with health care than with the Castros, and this year they are beginning to surpass the Cubans in vote registration. Unlike the Cubans, they tend to vote Democratic—when they vote.
John McCain is paying attention: Colombians are the second largest Latino group in Miami-Dade County. During the final presidential debate, he advertised his support for the Colombian Free Trade Agreement, which most Colombians support and Obama opposes. Still, most of these new immigrants seem more concerned with domestic issues than with their homelands. Could new Nicaraguan, Colombian, and Cuban citizens swing Florida this November? Watch the video above. Then click here for the full story of Miami's Hispanic swing vote.

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it. Being a Diaz-Balart in Miami is like being a Kennedy in Boston. Even if the Cubans are outnumbered, they won't be outvoted.
I love it. Diaz-Balart has a group of Cuban exiles complaining about losing their homeland. Well, if they are now voting that means they are citizens of the United States. The United States is now their 'homeland'. So if the Castros are finally overthrown or die or whatever - are all these now-American citizens going to renounce their citizenship and go back to Cuba?
I really would like an answer to that.
So much for single-issue voting. Humph!
I often wonder about those who corrupted the corrupt dictator before they came here to become the newest personification of the American Dream: business, homes, college and the works. Gave me the idea they already had money in the bank in Miami. Always have been pushy about things Cuban and Castro. They threw-in with the repugnants and there they'll stay until Castro folds and they bawl for help regaining their former property, on capitalism grounds.
