There will always be a hatred of blacks against hispanics and visa versa...

But what is good is Bush can convert more hispanics to the Republican party because many are getting fed up with the Dems always favoring one race over the other... and they know that the Republican party does not...

oldie but goodie!

Republicans, led by outgoing Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., have floated the possibility that they might insist on the ability to force floor votes on nominees if Democrat opposition keeps them stuck in committee hearings. But staff for Daschle said that this would not be acceptable because the GOP lacked the necessary leverage in votes and because Democrats have, thus far, allowed nominees to get floor votes, even in the face of substantial opposition to the nominee.

"That idea has yet to be brought to us," said one staffer. "I could see it if we had been blocking nominees, but we haven't. If we'd wanted to filibuster [Solicitor General Ted] Olson's nominee, we had the votes and didn't. That should indicate that we're committed to full and fair deliberation."

If it works out fine ---but I think it could backfire. Reagan had the majority of the "hispanic" vote ---what happened to it? Bush is struggling to improve on about 30% of it. Clinton played race politics and got about 80% of the hispanic vote.

I'm also glad that Clarence Thomas is on the Supreme Court, I hope Estrada gets there eventually too but at the same time, Clarence Thomas being on the Supreme Court did not help Bush or Dole with the "minority" vote.
