GOP Pres. Candidate Fred Thompson Stumps In Miami

MIAMI (AP) ― Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson will campaign in Miami Monday, one day after the Republican Spanish-language debate.

The Republican presidential candidates participated in a Spanish-language debate hosted by Univision, the Spanish language television network, and the University of Miami.

The candidates strove to mark common ground with a growing voter bloc while softening the anti-illegal immigration rhetoric that has marked past encounters.

Republicans have had trouble courting Hispanics, who have become an increasingly significant source of votes. A recent poll by the nonpartisan Pew Hispanic Center found Hispanic registered voters favor Democrats over Republicans by a margin of 57 percent to 23 percent, a wider gap than in July 2006.
