That's what the Dems get for blocking Hispanic judicial nominees.

This Puerto Rican in Florida is voting for Bush!

Sorry BGlob, Hispanics are coming to Republicans in record numbers. They are NOT for abortion, immigration or higher taxes. Nice try though. Notice no documentation to back their statements.

You sometimes have to feel sorry for the Dims. Say for example they get their wish and Chavez is allowed Cubify Venezuela (god forbid). The result would be a huge influx of angry right wing Venezuelans to Florida making it a Puby lock for a generation.

The athletic hottie with the slingshot posted here will be out to bean Kerry and his cohorts. She will be here to whack the ACLU lawyers next time they come to town to count chads.

sounds like the pubbies need to emphasize kerry's policy of appeasement of dictators, and his and Tides' communist ties.

They should also be on the right side of the Chavez issue

Translation: "Hispanics are Democrat property! What in the world is going on in Florida?"

[Betaille]

Increasingly Republican Hispanics in South Florida... Increasingly Galvanized and Conservative North Florida...
Sounds like this is no longer a swing state.

[Torie]

One oddity is that Nicauraguans (sp), are even more GOP than Cubans in Florida. Haitians are much more GOP than blacks as a whole.

Who woulda thunk I'd bookmark a Boston Globe article?

We have an awesome Columbian county commissioner here in Mecklenburg (Charlotte), Dan Ramirez.

[Clemenza]

It has not been widely reported, but the parts of the People's Republic of Broward County that voted most heavily for GHWB in 2000 and Jeb in 2002 were in the SW part of the county, where many second generation Cuban-Americans have moved. Now if we can only get the Middle and Upper Class Colombians and Venezuelans in Weston and other areas of Broward/Palm Beach to register, we can make inroads into those two solidly Democratic bastions.

[Jorge]

This is good news.
McAwful promised Jeb Bush was gone but he won in a landslide.
Let's hope and pray GW does the same this year.

Today, Cubans are a minority of the Hispanic population -- just 31 percent. The rest are divided among Puerto Ricans (18 percent), Mexicans (13.5 percent), and more than a million Colombians, Peruvians, Nicaraguans, Dominicans, Venezuelans, and Guatemalans (37.41 percent of all Florida Hispanics).

• Puerto Rico - Roman Catholic 85%, Protestant and other 15%
• Mexico - Roman Catholic 89%, Protestant 6%, other 5%
• Colombia - Roman Catholic 90%
• Peru - Roman Catholic 90%
• Nicaragua - Roman Catholic 85%, Protestant
• Dominican Republic - Roman Catholic 95%
• Venezuela - Roman Catholic 96%, Protestant 2%, other 2%
• Guatemala - Roman Catholic, Protestant, indigenous Mayan beliefs

Does anybody see a pattern here? Is there any wonder why people from these countries might skew Republican?
