Mitt Romney's promise to veto a measure that would create a path to citizenship for some illegal immigrants threatens to turn off some Hispanic voters, whose support could be critical in a general election match-up against President Barack Obama. The issue is gaining prominence as the Republican front-runner heads toward the Jan. 31 primary in Florida, even though most of the state's Hispanics are Puerto Rican or Cuban-American and, thus, aren't affected by U.S. immigration law, nor view it as a priority. Still, it's a state where 13 percent of registered voters are Hispanic, where the nation's largest Spanish-language TV networks are based and where the nation's third-largest number of illegal immigrants live — intensifying the focus on Romney's position.

So far his strict stance against legalizing the undocumented population hasn't done him any favors even in the republican primary. Newt destroyed him in the South Carolina primary yesterday.

That's exactly what I was wondering. The Cuban community in Florida is Conservative and cares very little about the problems of the immigration system. In fact it is exactly the opposite. Why do you think the Republicans keep talking about making Rubio a veep choice--certainly not cause he is liberal on CIR?

Romneys anti immigrant rethoric didn't help him in South Carolina & very likely it won't help him in Florida.
In Florida there are more hispanics (non cubans) than there are in South Carolina & Iowa, if we consider that Romney lost Iowa for 32 votes these non cuban hispanics can make the difference.
