Latino Voters Could Be A Force In 2010, Keep Up The Xenophobia GOP

The Republican party seems dead-set on alienating America’s fastest growing bloc of voters.

In a report out Monday, the immigration reform advocacy group America’s Voice outlined 40 mid-term races where Hispanic voters could have a significant impact on the outcome.

‘Most politicians understand the importance of the Latino vote in presidential years, but what we’re saying is that Latino voters will have a huge impact in the mid-term elections,’ Frank Sharry, executive director of America’s Voice, said on a conference call with reporters Monday. ‘The number of voters coming of age and registering continues to grow. You have seen growth even when a presidential race isn’t at the top of the ticket.’

When I see things like Tom Tancredo leading off the teabag convention with an anti-immigrant howl, all I can ask is “more please”.
