McCain might garner some of the Cuban vote with this, but for the most part, a hardline on Cuba isn’t going to appeal to the independents who are beginning to swoon for Obama, and McCain desperately needs their votes. If McCain turns off the squishy center while trying to coax back the “beaten wife” conservatives, he is going to get trounced. Obama isn’t going to play the issues game with him, and the voters that really matter now don’t want issues.
“McCain might garner some of the Cuban vote with this, but for the most part, a hardline on Cuba isn’t going to appeal to the independents who are beginning to swoon for Obama, and McCain desperately needs their votes.”
If McCain can win the Cuban vote strongly he will win Florida, and if a Republican wins FL the GOP is already half way towards holding the WH.
this is in a Miami newspaper and not even Gore would be so dumm....politics are local even in a Presidential election...Florida is better than it as ever been for a republican nominee and is where we has to win in the last 2 elections ...well we don’t have to win as its not going to be close there as the democratic Senator has been telling everyone that will listen.
