Re: #2, I heard that the Obama campaign hit Ryan for opposing the embargo.

Would be disappointing if true. Though I don't see it happening this time around, the second term of a Democratic President is about the only time I can see the Cuba embargo ending.

One thing striking about Florida is that, if the margin in Miami-Dade County had stayed the same as in 2008, Obama very well might have lost the state. He won Miami-Dade by about 140k in 2008 and by about 210k in 2012, while winning statewide by about 70k in 2012. Thus, the entirety of his 2012 margin was from his gains in Miami-Dade. Whether that's good or bad news for the Republicans is hard to tell, as the future of the Cuban vote remains uncertain.
