Cubans swung Democratic, as their voting patterns are becoming more similar to other urban groups and self-deportation rhetoric wasn't appreciated. It still leans R; we must remember Obama won nationally by 4 points but Florida by just 1, which makes it an R+3 state. In 2008 it was R+4; in 2004 it was R+2; in 2000 it roughly corresponded to the nation (rounds to R+0).
Florida's demographics, I thought were remaining pretty constant; it's just that the various groups are slowly shifting allegiances over time, making them 'difficult' to figure out.
