Mitt Romney: Florida

Hispanic Leadership Network Dept: U.S. election coverage, according to The Star. Both men arranged for appearances Friday with the Hispanic Leadership Network. Florida has roughly 1.5 million Hispanic voters, who figure to play prominently in the largest and most diverse primary so far in the state-by-state nominating process to challenge President Barack Obama in November and jACKSONVILLE, FLA. More than a million Hispanic voters are the prize as Republican presidential rivals Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich resume campaigning Friday after a feisty, final debate before Florida s primary on Tuesday. Romney was the surprise aggressor in the second debate in four days Thursday night, pressing Gingrich to apologize for an ad labeling him as anti-immigrant. That s simply inexcusable and repulsive, Romney said. My father was born in Mexico. I m not anti-immigrant. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
