As was said in another post, Hispanics are not one monolithic group. I am fairly certain that the S. FL Hispanic group voting more conservatively is the Cuban contingent.

For the most part, although even the Cubans are not a monolithic bloc -- the younger Cubans are on the whole not as conservative as their elders. Similarly, the more recently arrived Cubans (who arguably fled Cuba just as much if not more so for economic reasons as they did for political reasons) tend to be less conservative as well.
Also, you have a significant conservative Nicaraguan contingent who fled when the Sandinistas took over in 1980.
Beyond that, there are the South Americans -- primarily Colombians and Venezuelans -- who are hard to read on the political spectrum. I have a Venezuelan friend who has had her permanent residency for some time and is about to embark on the citizenship process. She comes from a well-to-do family in Caracas and talks about Chavez as if he were the devil incarnate. You'd think she was conservative, but she spews a lot bile about Bush and conservative Republicans in Congress as well.
In any event, and it is a class thing, I suppose, the Hispanics here in South Florida cannot be lumped in with the Mexicans most here seem to be complaining about. Other than perhaps their speaking Spanish (though it should be noted their offspring as a rule all prefer to speak English).
That's true -- the Cubans always go 70+ percent GOP. But Bush also won among non-Cuban Hispanics in FL in 2004.
