If I'm right, the R's, wanting support of the investment industry, will in the end not make much of this.

Following the interest of money is always a good idea, particularly when the money belongs to one of the controlling interests in a political party. The connection of the Dem right and Wall St is undeniable.

But, I suspect there was sufficient anxiety about the GOP and public reaction to prevent the Cuba move from happening prior to the elections in Nov.
