I would still like to see the source for those numbers, doesn’t the info at your link seem a little odd to you, he supposedly gets 70% of the democrat vote and wins by 65%?
“In his district, he consistently gets over 60% of the Hispanic vote and nearly 70% of the Democrat vote. Hunter became chairman of the House Armed Services Committee in 2003. In 2006, Hunter did not face any opponent in the Republican primary. In the November general election, he defeated Navy veteran/minister John Rinaldi, a Democrat, and Michael Benoit, a Libertarian. Hunter was re-elected with 65% of the vote, a 33-point margin over Rinaldi.”
Here is my source for 32% of Hispanic voters in 2004 being Protestant. “Religion appears to be linked to President Bush’s improved showing
among Hispanics in 2004 over 2000, when he took 34 percent of Latino
votes. Hispanic Protestants made up a larger share of the Latino vote last
year (32% in 2004 compared with 25% in 2000), and 56 percent of these
voters supported the president in 2004, compared with 44 percent in 2000.
The president’s share of the Hispanic Catholic vote remained essentially
unchanged between 2000 and 2004.”

My understanding is that Hispanic Protestants, very small in number, also are tempted to remain Democrat because most are former Catholics. The Democrat label makes them think they are helping the “little guy” like themselves, whereas the Republicans stand for “the rich”. I know it’s foolish, but that’s how many “feel”.
