> Dick's analysis is too simplified. As Hispanics become middle-class, they will become more Republican. Hispanics are not a monolithic voting block. Hispanics will get ahead and value what they worked for.

A good point, and one that I hope has great effect. But Morris' overview of recent voting history is a major cause for concern.

One hopes, too, that in accomodating large numbers of people who have little experience with succesful democracies, the Republican Party will not have to bend itself out of recognizable shape - more than, that is, some would say it has already done.

I don't think it is fair to compare Bush vs. Dukakis and W. vs. Gore in one county and come to any conclusive opinion. Even with the growth in minorities, GOP still won the Presidency, still won more Congressional seats, and should have won the Senate. In America, the poor will never be a majority.
