According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of July 1, 2008, there were 46,943,613 Hispanics in the United States, about 15.4 percent of the population. This means that the Latino vote will be crucial in future elections. They already account for a high percentage of electorate in swing states like Arizona, New Mexico and Florida.

This could be a huge voting bloc, just as the black community was in supporting Barack Obama. Could this mean that the next president will be Hispanic? Perhaps an Hispanic woman?

Maybe we can have a polka dot president, wouldn’t that be wonderful now that every idiot has decided that skin color is more important than what is in their head.

I don’t care if the next president is a Martian (Natural born citizen though) as long as it’s a America loving conservative constitutionalist

I’m just hoping the next president will be a natural born American who loves America.

The issue is not that our next president may be Hispanic, but rather that in ten years Texas, Florida and Arizona will be Solid Democratic States due to the growth in the Hispanic populations in those states.

And if the GOP cannot win Florida, Texas, Arizona, California, New York, Pennsylvania etc, they cannot win a Presidential Election.

Doesn’t really matter. The next best person for the job is likely a female former governor of Alaska. And oh, by the way, women are such a huge voting block that they have a majority in elections.

It really doesn’t matter. What is important is a natural born American who loves this Country, and is a good solid conservative. Who gives a crap what race or color they are?!

Not sure if he still does, but a few years ago he was living in Austin and I would see him around town quite a bit and talked to him a few times over beer.
