    Cultural organizations around the country are up in arms over a Japanese Garden UCLA agreed to maintain "in perpetuity," but now plans to put up for bid next month. It's a masterpiece of its kind and a monument to peace with Japan in the aftermath of World War II. On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, one reason Mitt Romney lost the Florida primary to John McCain in 2008 was the votes of Republican Hispanics. President Obama then swept all Hispanics by 58 percent. Would Romney or Gingrich do better this time around? What about Hispanics in other parts of the country?
