You are VERY wrong here for a variety of reasons: 1. Most Cuban Americans do NOT consider themselves people of color. According to most surveys, 85% are white. Hell, anyone who lives in South Florida can tell you that fact. 2. Most Cuban Americans are middle to upper class. 3. Cuban Americans have a high rate of intermarriage with other white Americans. 4. Cuban Americans are now a minority of Florida Hispanics, thanks to the large influx of Puerto Ricans and Central Americans.

I agree with your points. But tell me how the Cubans in South Florida voted? Did they vote for McCain or Obama. If I'm not mistaken they voted for Obama by a comfortable margin. Am I wrong? What are the numbers?

McCain won the Cuban-American precincts in western Miami-Dade County. Obama won the HISPANIC vote in Florida largely due to the huge Puerto Rican vote in once-Republican Orange and Osceola (Disneyworld!) counties, both of which went for Obama, as well as non-Cuban Hispanics throughout the state.
