Esquire got into the political endorsement game in its recent issue, and some incumbents in Congress who are seeking re-election perhaps wished the magazine hadn''t.

The South Florida Trifecta
Will Democratic challengers in the three "Cuban" congressional districts of South Florida loosen the stranglehold that old-line anti-Castroism has had on presidential politics and Cuba policy? That's a question that can be answered only in the byzantine maze of Little Havana politics.......here
