Bachmann visits Miami, looks for Cuban support

After spending four days rallying supporters in six cities of the Sunshine State, Michele Bachmann arrived in Miami on Monday and toasted with supporters at Versailles Restaurant, a typical stop for GOP candidates. Tea cup in hand, Bachmann had her dose of cafésito in order to reel in Miami-Dade County’s stronghold of Republican voters and gain Cuban-American endorsement.

“We’re going to be all over Florida because Florida chooses presidents. You choose presidents,” Bachmann,  said to the crowd gathered Versailles Restaurant, in Little Havana, reported The Miami Herald.

According to the Herald, Cuban Americans make up more than 70 percent of Republicans in Miami-Dade County. Consequently, it is the largest Republican county in the state. […]

Sophomore Regla Alfonso, who was born in Cuba and came to Miami at the age of four, doesn’t think Cuban-American Republicans will affect Florida’s poll rates.

“I think she’s a good politician and knows how to get to people in Miami. I don’t think this time around it’s going to help her go higher in the polls,” Alfonso said. “I think the Cuban people have seen all these candidates come by and make promises to them, so this time they’ll see she just wants their votes.”
