“I can’t imagine South FL Cubans voting 85% for Dubya !”
Certainly not in 2004, but I thought they had in 2000. Well, maybe not quite as high as 85%; this says that Cuban-Americans in Florida gave President Bush 79% in 2000:

I’m not going to cheat by saying “well, Cubans in *South* Florida probably gave President Bush 85% in 2000” (which may be true, since Cubans further north were not as directly affected by the Elián situation as in Miami), given that white Anglos in certain parts of Mississippi certainly gave President Bush over 85% and probably over 90% (President Bush “only” got 62% overall in the heavily white MS-01, which means that he probablt got “only” 75% of the white vote in the district).
