Florida Latinos Alienated from GOP?

By immigrationprof

We have written recently on how the apparent failure of the immigration bill — and the campaign to derail it — may have turned off many Latinos to the Republican Party.  Well, today the Los Angeles Times (here) has an article about how new Latino citizens in South Florida who have traditionally registered with the GOP have felt alienated by the party.  Is it possible that many Cuban Americans, a part of the GOP base, may flee the GOP?  This could have a big impact on the 2008 Presidential election, with Florida always a key state.
