It has to do w/ alienating a nascent republican
voting block. That was what I was getting at.
I wasn't talking about Mexico! Read the entire
thread!
Gee, if I were Karl Rove I would have my ticket
punched for my asking price.

Here's an interesting article --- which makes you wonder why people who were so angry at the exit polls which claimed Kerry won would suddenly believe they're the Bible if they show something else. Only a precinct by precinct analyis will show what really happened --- and in this are that would show little support for Bush by hispanics.

At least when it comes to Hispanics, those exit polls were just as wrong as they were with their overall analysis of the vote.
Latinos across the country voted nearly 68% to 31% for Kerry, about the same percentage as Al Gore got against Bush in 2000, says Antonio Gonzalez, director of the Texas-based William C. Velasquez Institute. The institute conducted its own exit polls both nationally and in Florida.
According to Gonzalez, the polls used by the national media are overly weighted to suburban voters, and since Latinos are the most urbanized of any population group and mostly concentrated in 14 states, the usual exit polls completely undercount Latino voters in the cities.
