@Finn dAbuzz,
You do understand how elections work, right?

Consider a hypothetical state election where on one side are bigoted wackjobs and the other side are a combination of Hispanics and sensible people. If there are more bigoted wackjobs than sensible people and Hispanics, the bigoted wackjobs will win elections. In this case since Hispanics are outnumbered anyway, the percentage of them that vote against the bigoted wackjobs is irrelevant.

Of course in states that have fewer bigoted wackjobs, Hispanics would have an impact even though in the purely hypothetical situation I ask you to consider above the Hispanic vote would be irrelevant.

Of course, a state controlled by bigoted wackjobs is purely hypothetical (I mean who ever heard of a state being run by bigoted wackjobs and lunatic sheriffs). I am just pointing out that it is theoretically possible for the Hispanic vote to be irrelevant in one state and not another even when they are a significant minority in each one.

On a completely different note that has absolutely positively nothing to do with the purely hypothetical situation I describe a above-- what percentage of the Hispanic vote do you think Arizona governor Jan Brewer received when she was elected?

So what exactly are you saying? Are you telling us that Hispanics aren't sensible?

Or are you saying that you yourself are a bigoted wackjob?

@Sturgis,
Maybe I am a nonsensible Hispanic bigoted wackjob.

I still have a point that Arizona is not indicative of the impact the Hispanic vote will have in key states like Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado.

I understand how the last one worked. The American people will not vote for flakes for national offices and John the "maverick(TM)" McCain was an obvious flake. Dems voted in the same numbers in 08 as they had in 04 while 6M pubbies who couldn't hold their noses hard enough to vote for the maverick stayed home. That isn't going to happen this time.

From his campaign interviews,
I thawt n still think that McCain was and is out-of-touch with reality.

@gungasnake,
Of course your argument depends on the assumption that Romney isn't himself a flake.

@OmSigDAVID,
The American people are the world's best consumers and the world's best at weeding out inferior products. That includes inferior political products like John the "maverick" McCain, and inferior ideological products like evoloserism. That's why evolution has never been salable in the US.

@maxdancona,
Romney represents a return to adult supervision. The US government is too powerful not to have adults in control of it.

Too late. The Republicans have been using that one since 1936.

@parados,
In this election, vote for the ONLY candidate that has released his long form birth certificate, Barack Obama.

Vote American, not some guy that claims to be but has yet to prove it.

He may be colored but at least his color isn't orange!
