Yup. That’s why I predict Obama is going to win a second term. He has NY, PA, NJ, IL and CA locked up. Its going to be pretty hard for a GOP presidential candidate to run the table on the Democrats in the mega-states. That’s about the size of the challenge the GOP has to overcome in 2012 and defeating Obama is still a long-shot, no matter what happens on Tuesday.

I concur.

Demographics are working against us at an astonishing pace. We are headed towards a time where this nation will almost be like 2 entirely different countries - where, unfortunately, traditional, white voters will be in the minority. The country will be in the worst shape it has ever been, yet leftists may still command a majority of the vote for generations to come.

We must find a way to begin reversing this. Blacks are probably a total write off. Hispanics on the other hand are a group we must make inroads with - otherwise more and more states will be lost to us like California.

Oh please. There is no way, on God's green earth, that Obama wins a second term,, unless the environment dramatically changes. He would be lucky to do better than Mondale.

As far as the hispanic vote: yes, getting the hispanic vote would be nice. But statistically, the 800 pound gorilla in this equation is the massive block of conservative white voters who, for historical and cultural reasons, hate the Republican party. Outside of a few states, they are the only reason that conservative Republicans don't dominate. Yes, California may be one of those states. But the reason that we are facing one of the most dramatic elections in American history is because massive numbers of conservative-leaning voters are coming out of the woodwork, and voting out the Cocktail/Democratic party. The only way we should "make inroads" with the Hispanic voters is to remain conservative, and stick to the principles outlined in the Constitution.
