Beyond cafe con leche: Candidates compete for Cuban-American vote

With the Florida primary approaching Tuesday, the Republican presidential candidates are again descending on Little Havana to swig cafe con leche and talk up U.S.-Cuba policy.

Such visits are a quasi-requirement as South Florida’s Cuban-Americans have been among the GOP’s most consistent voters, particularly in presidential races. But with no clear front-runner and inroads from the Democrats, the candidates are finding they must work harder than ever to win Cuban-American support and ensure party loyalty. Anti-Castro sloganeering isn’t enough anymore.”*
