(e.g. Marco Rubio the Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, Mel Martinez in the Senate, Carlos Gutierrez the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in House of Representatives, etc)
Last presidential election Dade county was 46.6% Republican and 52.9% Democrat. Not all that liberal.
Broward County is more liberal than Dade by a long shot. 64% Dem vs 34% Rep last election. And, it's important to add, that hispanics only make up 22% of Broward's population.

Jewish people are a lot more liberal than hispanics. For the record, Martinez lived in Orlando and went to FSU... he's ours when y'all secede.
