It was *days* ago. I do so love that poll, in which Latins tie with women who voted for Clinton as the two massively pro-Obama groups. I am pretending to be not in the least surprised, not feeling even little relieved, that these two groups I respect have their heads screwed on so straight. It's especially funny in California, where a few years ago there was a movement to show that Latino/Latina voters were Natural Republican Voters: strong family values and all that. So naturally the Party did everything it could to make them hate it.

If I'm a Republican strategist right now I'm either thinking really hard about how I can counter my party's image or I'm thinking about ceding the white house for a generation or so.

On Monday's Hardball (I think it was Monday) Matthews and someone else were saying how Obama's big problems with Hispanic voters might cost him the election and there was no way he was going win the mountain West states unless Hillary was his VP. This poll just destroys the canard that Obama is going to need all Clinton’s coaxing to get this populace into the tent by November.

Also encouraging is that Obama has a 7-point advantage (46-39) among white women, and that "it is white women that usually decide the race." White men are still more numerous around McCain (55-35), but I say even the dumbest part of the electorate will come around eventually, once the facts penetrate...

Like when O'Reilly said liberals supported illegal immigrants because they wanted to destroy the white, Christian power based in America. “Of course, as the amount of Hispanics in America increases, the more intolerant conservative rhetoric becomes.”
