Stop the spin: Democrats can't win FL in the GE w/out a significant black voter turnout
The Florida Minority Leader didn't seem to be concerned about the thousands of people who didn't vote b/c they were told it didn't count (unlike a lot of Clinton's base that turned out b/c of the property tax initiative which was on the ballot). Yet he said it is critical that the DNC count Florida's vote if the Democrats are to have a chance to win in the GE. It seems like he is forgetting about that significant block of black voters who must turn out in high numbers in Nov if the Dems are going to have a chance at winning FL. South Florida has a lot of Hispanics but many of them are Republicans so the Hispanic vote will in no way be enough for a Democratic win in the general election.

Of course I'm sure the Clinton camp already knows this.

1. If you lived there
you would know that most of the Cubans are dems. at heart. They vote rethug because they are promised no let up on Castro. This generation of Cubans wants the island back and don't understand the problem. Many ar4e indoctrinated that the rethugs are in their corner. But even those groups may br waking up to the screwing that they have been getting from king george and are ready to pay him back.Having lived there for 7 years, I can promise you they are smart and industrious. What they want the most is to be able to go to Cuba when they want and visit and party with their relatives. They as a group are so much like ot here groups{ Italian,Irish, they just want to go see their old neighborhood, wouldn't you?
