Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:
I'm not disagreeing with your take on demographics. Just your figures. I said 75% of "cops and firemen."
The Latin vote is in play. Miami has three Cuban-Republican Congressmen. All were considered vulnerable-all 3 won. Meanwhile in my district 1st term Democrat Ron Klein only got 55% against a black Republican who ran a nothing more than suicide campaign like mine. In a non-Obama year he might have won. And few places have changing for the worse demographics like South Florida.
Latinos are being hurt by the recessionworse than anyone. Because they have little history to guide them-and are yet to be dependent on the government jobs dole- they're far quicker to sway from the Dem's than blacks. They're the types to say "Bush sucked but at least when he was President I was working."
The same with Asians. As a Korean told me last year, "Asians want to fit in. They vote for who ever they think will win."
So while I generally agree that a blacker, browner, yellower America is bad for Republicans I know how quickly the wind shifts. If someone had said a few years ago that the Tories were going to beat Labour in a landslide, what kind of odds would you've given him?
