One thing the Pollsters wont tell you is the dirty little hidden secret that Hispanics are by far more of a anti-black racist bent than whites.
Many of the would-be Obama boosters are sitting it out because Obama isn’t effectively lefty enough. He’s seen as a klutz more than as a powerhouse.
The Republican Party has had plenty of chances to appeal to Hispanic Catholics in much the same way Reagan appealed to the Moral Majority that brought Christian Democrats into the Party, and helped turn the South for a brief time. Those chances have been squandered by playing the illegals game. But play away. It probably doesn’t matter anymore.
Democrats don’t need any help from Hispanics to win the Catholic vote.
They are genetically inclined to vote Democrat. Most of them anyhow. The only thing that is pushing in the opposite direction are the weekly diatribes from the pulpit over Obama’s birth control mandate. And that is not even happening in every church.
If the SCOTUS strikes down Obamacare this will be off the table, and large numbers of Catholics will migrate back to the “D” column.
