I'm only aware of one election in recent memory where a Republican got more than 50% of the hispanic vote, and that was Dubya in his 1998 gubernatorial re-election bid against a truly pathetic Dem candidate.

Yes, hispanics are three to four times more likely to vote conservative than the overall black population, but future California demographics don't favor conservatives until such time as hispanics begin to solidly favor the GOP.

The argument is flawed on two fronts. 1) It presumes a connection between conservatism and the CAGOP and 2) presumes that Hispanics can only implement conservative principles through partisan activities.

Oh well. the prior argument was at least correct on one front:

Certainly future demographics don't favor the GOP

Look for Democrats from areas with substantial Hispanic demographics to become far more conservative after the Wilsonegger gang bankrupts the state and drives out the top 5% of its productive class.
