Let’s see ... who got a higher percentage of the non-Cuban Latino vote in Florida three months ago?
Rubio, or Romney?
Hint: it wasn’t Romney.

While I’m in agreement with you regarding Rubio (he’s a candidate for 2016 whom we should consider strongly), I don’t think your comparison above holds water. You have to look at the opponents of both Romney and Rubio to assess which was the greater accomplishment. And it’s still entirely possible, if not very likely, that Rubio would lose the Hispanic vote if he faced any Democrat in a general presidential election. Though Rubio would do better than Romney did in the last election, conservatives will never offer enough “gifts” to the Latino population to win over their majority.
It was indeed Romney, because Rubio was not on the ballot last year, he was elected in 2010. ;)
