It seems as though the only folks who want Elian to stay are those Cubans in Miami who are using the boy as a political tool. I don't get the sense at all that there is much sympathy for Elian throughout the nation. The uproar seems like only a Miami thing - and I bet it's only a small portion of Miami that wants him to stay.
