My guy is huck, that being said I could have gotten behind Thompson, Hunter and Tancredo. And I could hold my nose for McCain (depending on the VP) With that disclaimer out of the way I want to take issues with your post:
“Because McCain is as pro-amnesty as they come and there are hundreds of thousands of illegal alien Cubans in Florida, AND because many of the LEGAL ones want to be able to bring in their loved ones from the Island.”
You are *completely clueless* a cuban *cant* be illegal, the minute they set foot on American soil they are granted legal immigration status. Cubans tend to one of the more reliable group of republican voters in fla so dont crap on them because they dont buy mitts 11th hour conversion to social conservatism.
“In the elderly grouping. That’s because McCain is, as are most elderly in Florida, liberal.” ... “the only way that Romney can beat McCain is by getting some whopper endorsements and going after McCain in NY and CA”
LOL so youll call fla seniors ‘liberals’ but hitch your mans hopes on two of the most liberal states in the union which *will not go to the GOP in November*?

You’re right about Cuban-Americans, but I think the MSM is misreporting McCain’s strong showing among Hispanics. In one of Fox’s exit polls asking why voters voted for particular candidates, most Cuban-Americans said because McCain had fought communism and had been a POW. No mention of immigration policy.
Not sure, but I think they said that Cubans and other Hispanic illegals and legals are about 50/50 of total Hispanics in Florida. So, half or more of McCain’s Hispanic vote was not due to immigration issues.
I don’t expect the MSM to highlight this since they prefer to say he was rewarded for supporting amnesty for illegals, and that any who opposed it hurt the Republican party.
