December 21, 2012Romney picks up key South Florida Cuban-American endorsements
November 29, 2011In announcing the support of the Diaz-Balart brothers and Representative Ileana Ros Lehtinen, Mitt Romney is making a big play for the Cuban-American vote, which helped cost him the election in 2008.
The Miami Herald reports:
Mitt Romney will pick up the ultimate Cuban-American endorsement trifecta Tuesday in South Florida: The support of U.S. Reps. Ileana Ros Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart, and his brother, former Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart.
The endorsements of the Miami Cuban-American leaders is a leading indicator that Romney is making a big push in Florida for one of its most crucial voting blocs in the state’s Republican primary, scheduled for Jan. 31.
“It’s a major boost for any candidate when the three of them get together and move in one direction,” said Carlos Curbelo, a Miami-Dade School Board member who has worked for the Diaz-Balart brothers but has endorsed Romney rival Rick Perry.
