This will start a heavy ball rolling in Florida politics, like the powerful inevitability in those Indiana Jones movies when the huge rock starts rolling down the chute. Look out, Republicans! It’s the time of the new broom.
The first to be swept will be Lincoln Diaz-Balart, currently misrepresenting Congressional District 21. The wave will rise out of Hialeah, where Raul Martinez was mayor for many terms – a Democrat beloved by Republican voters – and Lincoln will be sent to retirement.
Then, soon but I don’t know when, Joe Garcia, chairman of the Miami-Dade Democratic Party, will announce for Congressional District 25, and incumbent Mario Diaz-Balart will hear the knell of electoral doom.
And then, I don’t know when and haven’t heard who, someone with a lady’s name and a Latino background will announce for District 18, and we’ll see the end of too many terms in Congress for Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.
This will be South Florida’s contribution to the landslide in Congress that will support the Democrat who will be elected president in November. We can look forward to – well, I’d like to say it will be Paradise, but I’m afraid it will be Hell for a couple years trying to unstick us from the war in Iraq, to reapply for honorable membership in the world community and to wrench the economy over onto a track that benefits all while cleaning up the environment.
There’s a mission statement.

St. Martinez:
Soy un simpatizante suyo y he visto varias de sus entrevistas en TV.
Ahora bien, cuando usted defiende los viajes a Cuba, por que no usa el siguiente argumento?.
"Fue a partir de los viajes de la comunidad que los cubanos abrieron los ojos al comparar sus vidas con las de los visitantes, y comenzaron las primeras manifestaciones de protesta como el Mariel, el maleconazo, la creacion de grupos disidentes etc. " Antes de eso nadie protestaba y muchos pensaban que afuera los cubanos no vivian mucho mejor que en Cuba.
