From the comments at this article:
The Repugnican candidates refusal to participate in this historic debate while Dems embrace the Cuban community says it all. Miami Cubans are waking up to the truth that the fifty year old embargo against Cuba has failed. It has damaged the Cuban people and strengthed the Castro government’s hold on the people. The best way to promote freedom and Democracy in Cuba is to end the embargo and allow a reunion of Cuban families here and on the island. Those Miami Cubans still hung up on the Bay of Pigs and attempting to force political change in Cuba are fewer and fewer, and good riddance to these dinosaurs! It’s time for the new generation of Miami Cubans to step up and be heard.
The comments at the Sun Sentinel are often racist, sometimes intelligent, always diverse. Take a look.
The presidential election is more than a year away, but Democratic candidates are already trying to breach the Republicans’ stronghold in the Cuban-American community, hoping that a strong enough showing among Cuban voters will help them win Florida’s electoral votes in 2008.
They might have an opportunity today when the Democratic contenders participate in the first Spanish-language presidential debate. The 7 p.m. forum at the University of Miami, moderated by Univisión anchors Jorge Ramos and Maria Elena Salinas, will be broadcast by the network on television, radio and the Internet.
