"Never before in modern political history have two presidential
candidates claimed the same hometown at the same time. But now Miami —
better known for its beaches, its sports teams and as a hub of Latin
American commerce and culture — is poised to become a major center of
national Republican presidential politics.
Geographically and
otherwise, Rubio and Bush represent different parts of Miami. The
senator is a product of the city’s powerful and tight-knit Cuban
American community, which Rubio supporters believe will get behind his
bid. Bush, the transplant, has moved a few times across the city, but
now lives in a traditional upper-class enclave.
The rise of Bush and Rubio, whose political careers are inextricably linked, is a testament to the growing importance of Florida in presidential elections. Their bilingual and bicultural backgrounds will bring an urban feel to a race packed with rivals from rural states. Local Republicans say that both have what the GOP needs to win the White House."
