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.

Good to know this. I didn't distinguish between the Puerto Rican vote and the Cuban-American vote. The news source that I got my information from just said Hispanic. I know that the Cuban-Americans are a distinct and separate group from the other groups from the Caribbean. I make this mistake in my post. I also said Cubans when I should have said Cuban-Americans or better yet Americans of Cuban extraction.

That said I believe most HISPANICS want a larger role for GOVERNMENT. This led them to vote for Obama and they also voted for him because he wasn't white. I have this on good authority from a Hispanic friend of mine who was a McCain supporter. He was appalled at this but that's the way it is.
