MIAMI ROBO-CALLS SCARING CUBAN AMERICAN VOTERS ON ROMNEY’S CUBA STANCE

Al Cardenas, chairman of Mitt Romney’s Florida campaign, said that one of the candidate’s opponents, likely John McCain, began making robo-calls to Cuban American voters in Miami that misrepresent his position on Cuba.

The calls claim that Romney supports opening up relations with the Castro regime, which Romney opposes, Cardenas said.

The recorded calls in Spanish began about 2 p.m. today, presumably in response to paid radio programming the Romney campaign ran in Miami touting Romney’s hard-line stance on Cuba.

Cardenas called the automated calls “despicable” and “dirty pool.”

“This is the first time we’ve descended to these lows in a presidential campaign. It’s despicable,” said Cardenas, a former chairman of the Republican Party of Florida.

Contrary to Al Cardenas' claim, demonization of political opponents using Castro/Cuba is central to Miami politics. Accusations of being "soft on Castro" is a death sentence for getting the hard line exile vote.
