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

Haitians are more willing to listen to conservatives because they did not experience slavery and Jim Crow Laws in America.

It was my understanding that Gore got about 80% of the vote in the Haitian precincts in 2000. Gore carried Miami-Dade County despite the overwhelming Cuban support for Bush. Bush carried the Hispanic vote 50-48 in FL in 2000 despite the massive win among Cubans. I'm not sure I agree with this article. I'm sure Jeb did great in 02, but he thoroughly whipped his opponent. I guess my point is that I don't think the GOP will do itself any favors by turning out Hispanic votes other than Cubans this year. Non-Cuban Hispanics in Florida are still pretty dam Democrat.
