" Hispanics voted much more like African Americans. "

I think there may be more AA Republicans than you realize. NAACP has had some nasty puclicity in recent years and it's a known fact that the med school has racial preferential treatment guides.

Many AA's here frown on what they themselves call n*****s. I was at the Cosby live show when he first delivered his stunning challenge to the Black community to stop blaming white people, etc. He got many, many standing ovations.

According to national exit polls, African Americans votes 89% Democratic in 2006, the same percentage as in 2004.

Hispanics voted 69% Democratic (most of the 30% who voted Republican are Cuban), when only 55% voted Democrat in 2004. That's a 14 point shift in two years towards the Dems in the fastest growing demographic in the country. My guess is that if you exclude Cubans (a demographic that isn't growing), Dem performance is growing much faster than that.

You ARE aware that the percentage of African Americans who voted for Democrats increased in this election? Also of black candidates running for statewide or national offices, 13 black Democrats ran and 7 won while 3 black Republicans ran and zero won.
Not a good trend.
