Time y Washington Times, sobre Obama, Florida y los cubanos.
Y en The Guardian, Michael Tomasky escribe esto:
He’s taking some interesting chances. Could he fail? Of course. Take Cuba. He has signalled that he’d dramatically alter the US’s hard-line Cuba policy. He’s not alone in thinking it’s outdated. Brent Scowcroft, a Republican foreign-policy high priest who worked for George Bush Sr, said last week that the American embargo “makes no sense” any more.
This freaks some people out. And in electoral terms, it makes them think that Obama has thrown away Florida, home of a large, conservative Cuban-American community. But Florida’s Latino population is no longer majority-Cuban. And just this month, the news broke that more Latinos in Florida are Democrats than Republicans – a major historical shift. Could it be that Obama is on to something?
Ya lo dije. El que siga creyendo que para ganar la Florida hay que ganar el voto cubano conservador está durmiendo en una nube estratosférica.
Y en cuanto al resentimiento de los delegados y superdelegados… cualquiera que vaya a una de las actividades del partido demócrata local verá montones de camiseta y stickers de Obama. La mayoría de los demócratas de la Florida culpan al partido y al idiota de Howard Dean, no a los candidatos en sí.
