Lo Siento, Señor Bush

Reuters reports that Bush will lose the Latino/Hispanic vote by a 2 to 1 margin.

My guess is that the only Latino votes he'll garner are the rabid single issue anti-Castro Cubans and the evangelicals. I think even some Cuban Americans aren't happy with the travel and currency restrictions Bush put in place. I'm not sure exactly what Dubya was thinking--maybe the reptile part of his brain got off on some gratuitous Fidel bashing--but that'll hurt him in Florida. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and guess that the first pundit to bring that up will be David Brooks and it will be uttered at roughly 8:42 Eastern Time (Dan Rather noting it in passing won't count, unless he immediately follows up with some sort of 'Texas' saying about a frog on a log with a dog...).
