Yes, a super long title as you may have noticed but the results are in: Cubans in Florida are waaay in favor of Panamian John McCain over Mexican-American Mitt Romney, and they picked Rudy Giuliani as second place, which means that resurrecting Ronald Reagan in Spanish actually does pay off.

Hispanic GOP voters were going 50 percent for McCain, 26 percent for Giuliani — who received the all-important endorsement from Cuban-born Sen. Mel Martinez — and 16 percent for Romney. Huckabee got 5 percent of the votes from this group, according to the polling.

AND guess what? he ran no ads in SPANISH (as far as I know and I don´t live in Florida, so I could just be making this up)
