JimCrandellNo--you are wrong about the demographics.
New Mexico--Latinos will make up 37% of the vote this year--they will go over 3:1 Obama according to polls.
That means for McCain to win he has to carry two-thirds of the remainder of thge state--certainly a daunting challenge given the black vote in the state will probably be over 95% Obama. Sorry but as a percentage of the vote hispanics rise every year--this has caused Obama campaign to target the state as did Kerry.
Nevada now 20% Hispanic going 3:1 Obama. He needs almost 60% of the non-Hispanic vote to win--more than last election which was more than the election before that.
Colorado is similar--a poll last week showed Colorado Hispanics favoring Obama 68-26 percent.
These states ate becoming like the Deep South where because the Black vote is now 30-40 percent of the vote, the Republicans have to carry over 75% of the White vote.
Some may say this is racist but they are facts. The Democrats have targeted states with a growing Hispanic population as a core part of their stategy.
Unless Republicans can figure out a way to appeal to Hispanics other than just opening the borders and letting everyone in, they face a more difficult task every year. Its a party that is primarily made up of white people and the percentage of whites in this country is declining every year and the Democrats are capitalizing on this trend.
