Martinez For McCain
Big get for John McCain ... MSNBC is reporting that Florida Sen. Mel Martinez will endorse the Arizona senator. Martinez, a former HUD secretary under George W. Bush, is a Cuban American.
According to recent Florida polls, McCain and Mitt Romney are running close to even just four days before the state's primary. Cuban Americans are by many estimations the fastest growing Hispanic community in the Sunshine State and they helped carry Bush to his highly controversial win there in 2000. Unlike other segments of the Latino community, Cuban Americans tend to lean Republican.
