What the president and democratic congress are fixin' to do now make 86 look like a dry run.
As was evidenced by the marches and the insulting posters they carried of Bush, it appears the Rove/Norquist immigration "bring in the illegals to the GOP" fold failed.
Q: What were some of the surprises about the Latino vote in this election?
A: I think the big surprise when it comes to the Latino vote in yesterday’s election was the large turnout. For the first time in the history of American elections 8% of all voters were Hispanic. That’s the highest percentage that the exit polls have ever recorded. The previous high I believe was 7% in the 2000 presidential election.
The second big news from yesterday’s results was that the Latino vote moved strongly towards the Democratic Party at the national level. According to the exit polls as reported in the Wall Street Journal today, more than 70 % of Hispanics voted for Democratic candidates while only 26% voted for Republicans. That’s a very significant shift when you compare the results of 2004 when only 59% of Hispanics voted for the Democratic candidate and 40% of Hispanics voted for President Bush and the Republicans.
