Recent poll results show that Barack Obama leads John McCain by some 16 points. That's quite an accomplishment in a heavily Hispanic and Republican area. Some Cubans are angry that Obama's campaign team includes two guys instrumental in the return of young Elián Gonzalez to his father in Cuba.

Elián's mother died during an attempt to escape to America about 8 years ago. He was cared for by his mother's family in Miami but was eventually returned to his father after a court battle. Anyhoo, it was rather ugly after the little boy's return to Cuba. His recent pledge to communism rehashed painful emotions among Miami Cubans.

Obama's lead and support by Hispanics is a testament to the call from change by even traditional GOP supporters.
