Who will benefit most politically from Obama's new Cuba policy?
Edited on Mon Apr-13-09 03:08 PM by ColbertWatcher
Will it be the Democratic party? The Democratic party in Florida? Any particular candidate?

Anyone have any ideas?

2. People separated from their families will benefit.
That's the point of it. Other than that, it may, in time, lead to a more normal relationship with Cuba.

11. If Cuba allows Americans to come get health care there,
then I'd say senior citizens, especially those in Florida, will vote Democratic in droves.

12. Probably Cuban-Americans who want to funnel their money into terrorist organizations back home.
I hope Cuba has a good eye on "Brothers to the Rescue"
