Florida International University professors Dario Moreno and Kevin Hill reported Monday their analysis of tallies from selected precincts in Miami-Dade County, Fla., indicated GOP candidate Mitt Romney won up to 59 percent of the Cuban vote.

"...older Cubans who tend to be more conservative are dying off and younger Cuban-Americans believed to be more liberal are reaching voting age."

Another lib wet dream, killing off older people.

This doesn't bode well for the youngest Bush from Texas.

I really hate it when we break down politics into race and gender. Where is the appeal to Americans and what is best for the country? When that is gone, we are lost. That was shown with this last election and it seem to be destined to get worse.

That’s apparently gone considering Republicans are now all too eager now to cater to race politics (shamnesty, etc).

It's even worse than that, i.e. your breakdown theme. We're now talking about how brown is your brown skin, facts.

It seems that the browner/blacker the skin, the less they trust anyone lighter than themselves.

Talk about a conspiracy....these folk are in a solar system all their own.

Must have been taken off by that mother-ship Farrakhan believes in.

“Look younger Cuban Americans vote democratic.”

Which is why Romney should have picked Rubio for Veep. Ryan would have been good in his cabinet. Rubio would have brought in many more young minority voters.

I’m not so sure. Rubio is a Cuban hispanic, not Mexican or South American. They aren’t so keen on Cubans, too white and not particularly liked by the rest of hispanics.

The younger Cubans never got a taste of Fidel’s rules. Send ‘em there for a few years!

Younger Cubans vote just like younger whites - Democrat. They’ve been brainwashed in the same leftist educational system. This is what happens when you cede the educational establishment to the left.
