Bush isn't going to get 50% of the Latino vote.

You may be right, but consider his experience in Texas:

"Meanwhile, in Texas Gov. George W. Bush coasted to an easy victory, taking anywhere from 40 to 50 percent of the state's Hispanic vote with him. Thanks in large part to Bush's wide coattails, all 28 statewide officers in Texas are now Republican."

Perhaps he is hoping for the same thing nationwide.

You may be right, but consider his experience in Texas:

Texas is one state and he allowed that state to be over run by illegals for his own political gain.  Is that what you want?  At what cost victory?

I repeat.  It ain't gonna happen that he gets 50% of the Latino vote nation wide.  The republican party is self destructing and they don't have the sense to know it.  They have deserted there base trying to win democrat votes which they will never do in numbers large enough to do them any good.

Bush is riding high on his war popularity right now but it isn't going to last into the next election.  America's attention span isn't that long and if the economy doesn't improve dramatically he will lose the next election.

GWB can speak Spanish and hand out my money all he wants, but when it comes time to pull the lever, the minorities will be reminded by the DNC that it's all just "windowdressing", and they will continue to vote for the Dems.
