number of years, by all accounts florida is a pivotal swing state. we know the immigration question may impact what colorado, nevada, mexico, virginia and elsewhere do, but florida, how do you read that? florida is one of the most interesting places for people interested in latino politics. here s the reason. most people think florida and they think cubans because of the cuban/american population being so unified and so influential, but the demographics in florida are changing. if the pew hispanic center estimate that is cubans representing 32% of the voting bloc in the hispanic population, for 32% of the voters in florida, but puerto ricans, 28%. that s getting really close and are growing faster than the cuban population. and they have been trending towards the democrats or at least towards the middle. a lot of people will be looking to grab the poout rican vote.
