The Latin America Working group has released a scorecard regarding the positions on the Cuba issue of the Democratic and Republican candidates for president of the United States. The group did not give scores of the presidential candidates of the Green Party, Libertarian Party or Socialist Party.

The candidates were given grades based on the following Cuba issues:

a) Supports family travel.
b) Supports sending remittances.
c) Supports ending travel ban.
d) Supports closing Guantanamo Bay prison.
e) Supports ending the embargo.

The Final grade given is as follow:

Democrats

Dennis Kucinich : A
Mike Gravel: A
Barack Obama: B
John Edwards: C
Hillary Clinton: D

Republicans

Ron Paul: A
John McCain: F

Fred Thompson: F
Mitt Romney: F
Rudy Giulini: F

--

JG: My conclusion and opinion: any of the Democrats (except Hillary) would be good for reforming our failed Cuba policies. She would continue the failed Cuba policies of the Republican Party.
