Not to split hairs, but I think you're talking about white Cubans. Most Black/Brown Cubans aren't anti-Black.

White, Educated women? I don't think so. One of his STRONG demographics is EDUCATED voters as a whole (including white women.)

Hi LLLL98--not to get off topic but I just wanted to say I hope you're ok. I heard there was just a nasty tornado in Hialeah/Miami Springs. BTW I went to high school in Miami Springs, and if people are still the way I remember them, then --yes-- a lot of the older (white) cubans want a president who's a holdover from the cold war.

A few here disdain Obama but they don't dislike the race no they dislike the individual man and his history of associates has nothing to do with race .
No, you weren't paying attention. There is a huge difference between saying "Obama will have trouble with racist, white male voters" and saying "All white male voters who vote for Obama ARE racist."

Very true, white Cubans. I actually don't know any black Cubans.

That's 'cuz the majority of them are back in Cuba. Only a few were fortunate enough to make it over.

Oh, yeah we are fine, thank you. The skies are black and the rain is coming down, but so far no tornadoes.

Obama's weakest demographic is Joe and Mary six-pack. Ignorant, uninformed people who blindly vote for any Republican because they think Democrats are for "them gay people", etc. I'm here in the deep South, it's a little scary.

You should move to, say, Camden, NJ. There are NO Joe and Mary six-packs there.

Overwhelmingly Obama. A real progressive nirvahna although I'm not sure about the gay count. Check out City-data for that.
