"Sanchez got his butt whipped in the election by Republican Rick Perry, despite Perry being, um, less than charismatic(to be charitable)."
Perry only got 35% of the Hispanic vote, despite the fact that the Mexicans in Texas are from the (Limited) parts of Mexico that vote the most heavily conservative in Mexican elections.
In California, the GOP only got 25 of the Hispanic vote.

And what percent of Hispanic votes will the GOP get if it adopts the Tancredo strategy of not so subtle denigration and a cold war against Hispanics? One can be for sensible immigration reforms without the vitriolic tone. "Irish need not apply" is not a brilliant election strategy for conservatism.
