but remember, hispanics going to the polls in FL could prove beneficial to Bush b/c Cubans vote conservatively....

so, hispanics at the polls does not necessarily mean votes for Kerry...

Can't get there either (to check strange wording):

African American precincts are performing at 106% what we expected

Now that's from OHIO whose Senator Glenn once stated that he was 1000 percent behind something.
Is it fuzzy math time again?

WFK: 106% of what was expected = 6% more than expected. That's all.
