Not all the voters have arrived in CONUS yet...wait a few more years...
I am disgusted at the way GWB panders to Hispanics by trying to force America to do all things in two languages (Quebec, anyone?), and allowing massive illegal immigration.
But I do have to conclude that gaining 5 points among Hispanics is more significant than merely the side effect of gaining 3 points nationwide. Winning over Hispanics demonstrates that there is a conservative voice being established among Hispanics; It's easy for red-state Anglos to learn the truth about Kerry, but it's heartening to find out that the message also penetrated the Hispanic community. And proportionally, the 5 points is very significant.
My interest is: "where are these votes?" Are the Republicans just pulling in a greater share of the generations-old Tex-Mexicans, or is he making inroads in more competitive states, like New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, and Florida.
By the way, I believe (and polls show) that many Hispanics are revoted by Bush's attempted amnesties and destruction of the English language. But I think that fights over homosexuality, abortion, and leaders like Manuel Ortega and Alberto Gonzalez help, as does the effect of our Hispanic fighting boys' reports from the front.
Most hispanics I know voted for bush....
