Florida isn't exactly a reliable state. I'm not sure pandering to the older
residents of Little Havana will swing anything.
The older part is what is making the idea of playing nice with a little
more likely going forward. However, the fact it isn't reliable is
exactly why the Cubanos have had such sway for all these years. A small
group can very much make the difference in a tight race where it is
winner take all. Thus, both parties spent a lot of time sucking up to
them.
