While you are claiming that 32% of Hispanics are Protestant, I am quite skeptical and I was using the Mexican vote figures and not the Hispanic figures generally. The other major Hispanic groups are Puerto Ricans who tend to be overwhelmingly Demonrat and the much smaller Cuban population that is still heavily Republican but not as much as previously.
I have no interest whatsoever in getting involved in a Catholic vs. Protestant urination contest here. I also claim very little knowledge of Hispanic Protestants of any stripe. If 48% voted Republican, good for them and may they be ever more Republican than they already are. I can tell you that the GOP is suiciding with the Mexican Catholic vote and that is borne out by all voting statistics in recent elections and trends among them. The high percentage of Hispanics among Catholics (most of them by far Mexican) threatens the GOP among Catholics generally since attacks on some of us are often regarded, right or wrong, as attacks on all of us.
Again, the Demonrats, in spite of their all out support for baby-killing and for sexual perversions, play the game of politics infinitely better than does the largely clueless GOP.

Hispanics and the 2004 Election:
Population, Electorate and Voters Pew Research
• 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.
