Florida Latino Republicans Choose McCain

Republican Senator John McCain won the Republican Florida primary yesterday, taking all of the state's 57 delegates. Mitt Romney came in second, and former NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani came in a sad third, despite focusing all his recent campaigning there.
With 73 percent of precincts reporting, McCain had 36 percent of the vote, compared to 31 percent for Romney.
With it's large Cuban community, all eyes were on the Latino vote. Half of voters who self-identified as Cubans voted for McCain and 10 percent voted for Romney. The Latino vote made up 10 percent of the vote in the GOP primary.
