I don’t get it. I thought any candidate who came out against the amnesty bill was toast in Florida?! No, seriously. When Mitt started blasting Rudy on sanctuary cities, I believed he was writing off Florida in hopes that he could at least finish 2nd in South Carolina and knock off Rudy before he even gets to Florida.

Two points:
1) Many of the Hispanics in FL are Cubans, and the amnesty bill has little to do with them. They’re refugees, not illegals.
2) Many, many legal Hispanics, citizens or not, hate the talk of amnesty and legitimization of illegal immigration. Support for the amnesty bill, contrary to the President’s evident hopes, does very little to win the Hispanic vote.
