Or was that just an illusion?

give me a break,that's apples and oranges. I lived in Florida and had many Cuban friends. I wont repeat what they say about Mexicans and such. Most Cubans are strong believers in capitalism and America. Look up the voting results for the 2002, 2004 and 2006 elections, the Republicans couldn't get anywhere near a majority. One would have to be delusional to believe the Reps will get any where near a majority. A vast majority of "new citizens" will be a lock for the demo party.

GLAD you brought that up about the Cuban-Americans in Florida. Do you realize that even with the massive fallout from the Elian Gonzales fiasco in 2000, Bush only won the Cuban American vote in Florida by 2 to 3 percentage points...?? That should tell you something.
