(5,066 posts)Part of reason the 2000 Electionw as close enough to steal was becasue Bush got 40 ppercent of their votes.And In 2004 Bush
pulled off a narrow win because he got 44 percent of the vote.That helped Bush win Nevada and New Mexico and keep It from being close In Co.
latinos are helping New Mexico looking good for Obama despite the fact the Republican Governor has good approvol ratings.Latinos
help Obama offshot mormon vote In Nevada(they are large reason harry Reid won In 2010) and lations are very helpful In Co(they helped Michael Bennet survive In 2010)
Obama Is contesting Arizona this time.The latino vote Is why.Come fall they may help the demoncratic candiate for the senate.It Is
open seat.
It would be something If Obama with help of Latinos keeps his loss In Texas to single digets.That would be huge In Texas to not lose
by double digets.
I believe part of reason Obama won NC was because of latino living there voted for him.
If Latinos ever start voting for Democrats like Black Republicans are screwed.Romney Is very unpopular with them.
