Repug presidential candidate makes stop in Miami Monday at...El Palacio de los Jugos?

** He's trying to get delinked to the death squad types who funded Bain and who hang out at Versailles Restaurant where candidates always stop in Miami.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s bus tour will make a campaign stop in Miami-Dade County on Monday to court the much-needed Hispanic vote.

But whether Romney’s newly announced running mate, Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan, will accompany him seemed unlikely. On Sunday, campaign spokesmen said they could not confirm if the duo would be together on the trip. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who made the vice presidential short list, could be there.

Monday’s Romney visit is unique because it is breaking tradition by not making a stop at the famed Republican hub of Versailles in Little Havana — the restaurant known as the place where current and prospective U.S. presidents, governors, legislators, mayors and commissioners go to court the Cuban vote.

Instead, the Romney bus tour will stop further southwest at El Palacio de los Jugos — or the Juice Palace — at 7085 Coral Way, one of a growing number of popular open-air eateries known for their fresh fruit juices and hefty servings of Latin comfort food.

On Sunday, the eatery’s manager and employees were preparing for the big day. A large crowd expected to reach 2,000 will begin gathering at 3 p.m. Monday; Romney will speak at 5 p.m. During the afternoon rush-hour, a section of Coral Way will be closed.
