The Latino Polling Bombshell---OBAMA Leading ROMNEY --- 70-14 Percent!

The Latino Polling Bombshell

Currently, according to a big poll conducted by Fox News, Obama is leading Romney among Latino voters by 70 - 14 percent. Last time, Obama beat McCain by 67 - 31. Money quote:

While the poll indicates that four of five Latinos who voted for Obama in 2008 would vote for him later this year, Latinos who voted for Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain four years ago are now divided between voting for Obama and the Republican candidates. Forty percent said that they favored Obama while 38 percent said they would vote for Romney. Obama also leads Santorum 38 percent to 34, and Gingrich 40 percent to 38.

I cannot see how the GOP has a future with this kind of gap.

Rubio is unsure about Rmoney's chances. He'll decline and wait it out until it's his turn. I'm sure like in '08 they'll try to pull a "Hey look we got one of these too!". Fortunately the female electorate didn't fall for that shit.

Who'd of thunk it? Well, I guess that worked so well, they decided to set their their sites on women's reproductive freedoms....even if the Republican leadership wanted to put a cap on their various wars against various segments of the US population, I think they've got themselves too many elected morons who will continue to press these issues. The Party is beginning to reap what they've been sowing for decades - catering to bigots, racists, misogynists, and homophobes gets you the Party you deserve.
