She clearly came prepared, as the Republican organization in Florida had learned of Claude Pepper's worsening health a year ago and selected this Cuban woman to compete for the Cuban vote, which makes up 45% of the district's demographic."

Jeff, holding the steering wheel, glanced at Tommy through the rearview mirror and said, "But when I went to register, I heard that there were thirteen Republican candidates and, including me, fifteen Democrats."
