Folks, I am on the road driving to VA to help with the GOTV efforts there and typing from iPhone so this diary is to inform of great news coming from the sunshine state. Unfortunately, I cannot cut and paste link but I am hoping someone else posts a new diary with more content. The republican leaning Cuban American National Foundation has endorsed Barack Obama in the Washington Post.

devildogs's diary :: ::
Jorge Mas Santos wrote an op-ed on wapo spelling out in detail how the failed policies of the Bush admin have not led to freedom in the island. He then goes on to lay out recommendations for what needs to be done. He finishes by stating that the candidate more in like with those recommendations is Obama.

Guys - this can be potentially huge with the Cuban American community in south Florida. I am Cuban and grew up in Miami and never would of imagined in my wildest dreams this would happen. This story needs to become viral!! So please, if someone can pick-up this thread and post it with links I would be happy to delete this diary. Thanks in advance.

Daily Kos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So let me get this straight: The support of Cuban Americans - people who fled a Communist country to live in in America - means that Obama is a Communist? Wouldn't Cuban Americans supporting a communist or a socialist be very strange indeed? I mean, they know first hand what communism and socialism look like - maybe it will take more GOP Koolaid than for Americans to get Cuban Americans to believ that Obama is a Commie or Socialist.

Even with this endorsement McCain will win the Cuban vote. They don't want to talk to Castro. Plus they know the BS of socialist.

Being Cuban I can tell you this has no effect on the Cuban vote. This used to be a well respected org in Miami but has lost alot of power under Santos. Even his staff calls him an idiot.

Cubans know who they support and what this guy says has absolutely no influence. In fact it may work the other way

"I am Cuban and grew up in Miami and never would of imagined in my wildest dreams this would happen." Exactly. Smells like crap doesnt it. Every Cuban in Florida already has this figured out. More likely, they dont care
