Miami's Cubans Rethink GOP
Great story here:
At least one influential Cuban, Pepe Hernandez, president of the Cuban American National Foundation, said it might be time for the Cubans to do the unthinkable -- reconsider their unwavering loyalty to Republican candidates."This community must face the realization that politicians, especially national politicians, come here to Miami when they need our votes and forget their promises," he said. "President Bush came here and said he would review this policy, and nothing has happened. Cuban voters will be looking into this reality a little bit when they cast their votes."Well, Mr. Hernandez, the Democrats are more than willing to welcome you into our party.
As Luis Navarro and others concluded in the Coronado Project, "Developing a stronger relationship between Hispanics and the Democratic Party can lead to the creation of a new Democratic majority."
