Well….. THIS isn’t a surprise is it?
If you keep on harping on how you’re gonna send a certain people BACK across the border instead of trying to install a system to actually DO SOMETHING about the complex issues of the situation…
You’re NOT gonna get their vote…..
And more and more of THOSE people ARE gonna vote and so are their kids…..

New tracking poll data out from Latino Decisions this week finds that despite small gains for Mitt Romney among swing state Latinos, President Obama has reached an all-time polling high with the demographic nationally:
This week’s impreMedia-Latino Decisions tracking poll found slight gains for presidential candidate Mitt Romney in battleground states with 33% certain to or thinking about voting for him. However, the over national polling data shows the strongest week to date for President Obama and the Democrats, with noticeable gains over last week’s poll. …
…The ImpreMedia – Latino Decisions tracking poll puts Obama ahead with 73% overall to vote for him and 21% for Romney. In the battleground states Obama gets 61% of the voters versus 33% for Romney, with Florida respondents comprising a significant share of Latinos in battleground states.
Democrats in general also saw increased support, with 64% of respondents overall saying they were doing a good job of reaching out to Hispanics / Latinos, an increase of 5% from last week’s polling. On the same question 15% of respondents said the Republicans were doing a good job. In battleground states 47% felt Democrats were doing a good job vs. 17% for Republicans.
We’ve been writing about this trend for a long time, as well as the concerns some Republicans have that losing the Hispanic vote by these kinds of margins could make it an institutional problem for future GOP candidates…..
How many times can one point out that the Republican’s seem to working overtime to shut themselves out of the fabric of Who, and What this country is TODAY ….
Not decades ago?
There’s a good chance that about twenty years from now
Historians and political scientists will note that it was the elections of 2008 and 2012 that solidified Hispanics as an overwhelming Democratic voting bloc
It’s gonna get worst for the GOPer’s if guys like Santorum run in the next go round….
If Romney chokes, the GOP’s best chance of winning the WH is in 2016 because Democrats will NOT have a strong candidate after Obama leaves the scene.
In my viewHillary Clinton will be an overwhelming favorite in 2016 if she runs
And who TPR exactly are the emerging Republican stars?
Rick Santorum,Paul Ryan,the bigmouth Chris Christie?
Hillary would wax any of them without breaking a sweat!
Four more years and four more years of the Republican Party base kicking the bucket. The demographics both in age, gender, and race work against the Party of Romney. But, please tell us CD, who are those strong Republicans out there?
Has Daniel decided to tell us why the polls are flawed, or did God just let him in on that secret?
Hillary WAX the social conservatives?
There are a LOT Of people who are gonna STILL have trouble voting for a women for President
Even of one has lived there for 8 years in the past
Rubio, Christie, Jindal (unless he runs for Senate in 2016 if Vitter retires).
Romney could pull a Bieber and gag all over himself to gain sympathy points in the polls.
Yeh yeh yeh
And they weren’t gonna vote for a Black
That’s old
Anyway as I remember you were FOR Hillary in 2008
We’re you for her because you thought she couldn’t win?
Odd
As for me
I admit I had grave doubts about Americans electing a Black man
I was wrong
Those old shibboleths are COLLAPSING
RAPIDLY!
Rubio and particularly Jindal are two of the most overrated politicians in the country
Indeed if they weren’t minority Republicans
Whom the media like to pump up to prove how “Balanced” they are
Nobody would pay much attention to them
Shit Jack
I didn’t think Obama had a prayer
But Obama ran a very good tactical race
And Hillary didn’t find herself till it was too late after Ohio and Texas
If she runs again
I’d expect her to better and adopt most of OBAMA’s campaign staff
Still Romney never had a chance with latino’s because of immigration speeches for the right in his party
Ironic
They STILL don’t trust him
I’d place Rubio SEVERAL steps above Jindal
Why James, because he is several shades lighter? They are both overrated, highly overrated.
2016: ¿ Susana Martínez contra Janet Napolitano ?
Rubio’s a Senator
He’s more of a national figure
And of course he’s Latino
But the clincher is
He’s YOUNGER
He’s Cuban
And while that is Latino
The Cubans have long had strained relations with other Latinos here in the US
Why?
They are welcomed because of our DUMB Cuban policy.
While other Latinos are targeted for deportation
And the Republicans hypocritically support such to show what “tough” guys they are toward Fidel Castro
Still fighting the Cold War!
Rubio doesn’t do anything but play footsie with Right Wing extremists cause he knows they will pump him up to show how “welcoming” they are to minorities
Let him stray from the Hard Right line and they’ll drop him like a hot potato
Jindal is Governor because Katrina emptied New Orleans the traditional bastion of Democratic votes in La
Making it basically a one party state in statewide elections for the foreseeable future
He is an uninspiring if not downright dull speaker who has basically struck out on the national level
But since he is a minority Republicans can command a degree of media attention
He tried to make some hay with subtle attacks on Obama during the hurricane
Didn’t work so he dropped it
Correct Jack…
But the Cuban vote I am told splits by age …
Old timers NO Talking to Cuba…
Younger ones…..Why Not?
Bobby Jindal (a Brown University graduate) seems to be very mixed as a speaker. His reply to the State of the Union was one of the most wretched ones I’ve seen.
There’s something about a script and a TelePrompTer that prompts intelligent Ivy League graduates who are thoroughly capable of instantaneous thought and extemporaneous speech look and sound like brainless robotic fools (e.g. Obama, Kerry, GW Bush, Romney, Jindal).
I’ll stick to my Rubio leading Jindal….
Blanco was an inept governor who I don’t think would have won re-election – with or without Katrina.
I agree with DSD that Jindal’s State of the Union rebuttle was weak, but I still think he is a good speaker. I saw one of his debates in the crowded primary (with Democrats) and he was easily the best debater on the stage.
I agree with Jack about the Katrina shipment of Democrats FROM Louisiana
