	1945 Presidential Election - Politics.ie Wiki
		Patrick McCartan, a former Sinn Féin TD and ambassador from the Irish Republic to the United States, who had supported the Anglo-Irish Treaty grudgingly, and who had quit politics through disillusionment, announced he would stand as an Independent Republican candidate.
		McCartan's campaign was supported by members of the IRA and some disaffected nationalists who were unhappy with the policies of the Governmment, in particular its execution of IRA prisoners during the Second World War.
		The 1945 presidential election showed the extent to which Irish presidential elections, though in theory just concerned with the presidency, could capture evidence of political undercurrents that would later shape a general election result.

		Through an examination of 1988 election results as well as other data, this chapter analyzes the growing impact of the Florida Hispanic vote, and especially the role of Cuban voters and their strong loyalties to the Republican party, in state and national elections.
