Latinos delivered. A record 75 percent of Latinos voted for President Barack Obama, and only 23 percent voted for Romney, according to Latino Decisions exit polls . In 2008, the president won 67 percent of the Hispanic vote while his Republican opponent Sen. John McCain won 31 percent, that’s an 8 percent gain for Obama.
In the battleground state of Colorado, 87 percent of Latinos voted for Obama, while only 10 percent voted for Romney. In Ohio, 82 percent of Latinos voted for President Obama.
In Massachusetts, Latinos came out to vote overwhelmingly for Obama with 89 percent, and just 9 percent for Romney. Latino support here had implications in the white-knuckled, close Massachusetts Senate race. “Latinos are an estimated 6 to 7 percent of all voters in Massachusetts and the impreMedia-Latino Decisions data shows Latinos overwhelmingly supported Elizabeth Warren by a record margin, 86 percent for Elizabeth Warren to 14 percent for Brown and the Latino vote is what decisively put Warren over the top,” says Latino Decisions political scientist Matt Barreto.
New Mexico went blue in this election, with 77 percent of Latinos voting for Obama and 21 percent for Romney.
Latinos overwhelmingly said jobs and the economy as well as immigration were top issues for them. ”Obama’s re-election marks a new beginning for politics, in a year where non-minority states went overwhelmingly for Romney and still lost, the era of extremism is knocking on death’s door. The GOP in states like Arizona and Texas should heed this message well or follow the pathway to irrelevance that is the South,” says Stephen Nuño, political science professor at Northern Arizona University and an NBC Latino contributor.
“The enthusiasm of Latino voters in this election reflects not only support for Obama and his policies, but dislike for the policies of Romney and the GOP,” says Cristina Beltran, a professor of cultural and social analysis at New York University.
Now, one more time: Explain to me the Rove/Bush doctrine that these people were going to vote Republican and were so conservative, hmmm?
They really don’t care about the Kenyan sending weapons to the drug cartels to kill their countrymen. It’s all about them and the freebies. Me! Me! Me!
The non-whites ran this election victory for Zer0.
So much for “reaching out”to the Spanish.
We are so screwed, now the GOP has no choice but to kowtow to the minorities, the white male is dead politically.
Issues wise, they should be
Translated: The tipping point has been reached and the Democrats have seen their wish come true. Illegal immigrants have become legal, for all intents and purposes, and they love the welfare state and thy are now the majority in many states. Republicans are looking at a bleak future, and fielding Hispanic candidates won’t make a bit of difference.
I know this can’t be true, because Jorge Bush got all the Latinos to love him.
I think his nephew is even a Mexican or something.
(We have been SO SCREWED by the GOP elite.)
Great, well, they can pay the bill for their president.

Well, there ya go. The mexiclowns hate us. Ain’t that special. They never were going to vote GOP in the first place so we are supposed to tone down our rhetoric?
With 72% of whites voting for romney with a loss it is apparent that the minorities will control national elections.
The dems perfected their destruction of America plans.
I want to take your job. And send the money back to Metico, says the illegal. Decades of illegal immigration, along with the ever growing takers
Have formed a coalition that will be hard to beat on a national level.
Simple fact.
With 72% of whites voting for romney with a loss it is apparent that the minorities will control national elections.
The dems perfected their destruction of America.
Rove/Bush in Texas in 1998 won the MAJORITY of Latino votes.
Dont diss them outright.
This was not inevitable and a bit of a shocker. So what lies was Obama telling them to get their vote?
That’s pretty much it.
Exactly.
And to put not too fine a point on it, the vast majority of Hispanics are Catholic. The majority of Catholics believe in “more free stuff” and therefore were voting for Obama:
As long as we keep importing more Catholics, we’re going to keep seeing the outcome we saw tonight: People voting for more “free” stuff.
At what cost?
America has officially become a country where the majority believes that the USA owes them a living. I will do everything in my power to stop working so hard so their lifestyle isn’t as cushy as it has been.
that's racist
