This "improved Hispanic vote" for Bush has been proved a fallacy that was forwarded shortly after the election.
In fact, it is not even necessary to dig too deep to see how inaccurate this reporting was.
How could the election be so close if Bush gained any percentage in the Hispanic vote? There is no way it would have been. Bush gained in the White vote. The Black vote was the same as before. If there was any percentage of the Hispanic vote removed from the Dems and taken by Bush, this election would have been a blow out.
The Bush "gain" in the Hispanic vote is mere propaganda. Also, except for Whites, no group as a whole voted for Republican. That's a sobering thought for conservatives as the demographics of our nation change. We are headed for Socialism.
