. Do ou know for sure that they are all Democrat-voting Hispanics? Where do you get your data from?
I think this election 70% voted for Obama (since he was running ads equating McCain with Limbaugh and his anti-illegal immigration rhetoric...ironically McCain is pro-emnesty)...Bush did much better (over 40% of Hispanics, I think...you know the Bush family is very hispanic friendly...Jeb is married to a mexican woman...they always endorse all hispanic republican candidates)...but I am not sure if the numbers are the same in local politics..
In South Florida there is to be a big # of cubans who traditionally voted republicans...now it's changing too because there is a growoing younger generation of Cubans who are changing to democrats (or being bought by democrats:-))...so to be seen...some say Tx will not be a republican safe area very soon if they fail to win the Hispanic vote (it's over 30% now and growing)...
