But the Senate's first Cuban-American member is also leaving under a cloud of frustration with his party's vitriol against immigration reform and the Sotomayor appointment. In 2008 the GOP's anti-immigration stance helped drop John McCain's share of the Latino vote to 31% - a 13-point plunge from the 44% George W. Bush won in 2004. Barack Obama not only won 67% of the total Hispanic vote last year, but he got a stunning 57% of that bloc...
