I question this statement:
” Hispanics are social conservatives. They are family-oriented, pro-life, and pro-traditional marriage.”
REALLY?
Read this:
Last Tuesday’s election was a watershed moment for the gay marriage movement. Voters in three states voted to legalize it — something no state had done before — and a fourth state voted against a proposed ban.
And if the movement catches on in other states, African Americans and Latinos will be a big reason why.
In fact, exit polls now show a majority of both groups now favor gay marriage.

On Tuesday in Maryland, though, 46 percent of African Americans supported gay marriage. And according to national exit polls, 52 percent of both black and Latino voters who turned out Tuesday said they support gay marriage in their states.

And if African Americans and Latinos are as onboard with gay marriage as the exit polls suggest, the four states that voted in favor of gay marriage on Tuesday might be the first of many.
“Third, Hispanics are social conservatives. They are family-oriented, pro-life, and pro-traditional marriage. ..... why did more than 70 percent of them vote for him?”

The National Review article is neocon crapola.
For a much more realsitic viewpoint of why the Republicans lost this time around and what to do about it (if anything), I suggest you read these thoughts by John Derbyshire:
