I would love for you to find the intrade odds for Obama to become President when first entering the Demo'crap' primaries in 2008!!!!
On Jan 5th 2008 Obama was at 51 % to win the democratic primary.I believe the democratic candidate was favored to win the presidency as well

A liberal lover with the name AK Forty Seven???? Oh my!!! If Nancy Pelosi finds out, she'll have your liberal, progressive, subversive membership card taken away. lol Don't worry, we'll keep it our little secret!!
I'm fiscally conservative.I like Democratic Presidents like Carter and Clinton who had balanced or close to balanced budgets.I don't like guys like Reagan ,Bush and Obama who have record breaking deficits
I also support gun rights and am liberal on social issues.

Updated December 30, 2010 to reflect updated exit poll results. For details, see page iii of the report.
Tuesday's midterm elections were historic for Hispanics. For the first time ever, three Latino candidatesâall of them Republicansâwon top statewide offices. In New Mexico, voters elected the nation's first Latina governor, Republican Susana Martinez. In Nevada, Republican Brian Sandoval won the governor's race and became Nevada's first Hispanic governor. And in Florida, Republican Marco Rubio won the U.S. Senate race.
Despite these big top-of-the-ticket wins for Republican Hispanic candidates, Democratic candidates won the Latino vote, usually by wide margins.
how does any of that support your statement that mexicans and puerto ricans would see a cuban in any particular light depending on any hypothetical situation?
i maintain: you are talking out of your ass on the aforementioned statement.
I wont recall every conversation I have had with Mexican and Puerto Rican Latinos but the numbers clearly speak for themselves
Mexican and Puerto Ricans are the biggest Latino groups in American,and in he last 2 elections Latinos voted 60-70 % for democrats
In the state with the largest Cuban population the GOP Cuban candidate could only get 55 % of the Latino vote.Both Latinos who won the other races lost the Hispanic vote by large margins
Those numbers are all the support needed for my opinions but my comments also come from talking to many Ricans and Mexicans.
Puerto Ricans,Mexicans and Cubans have different cultures and cant be bunched into one group.Whats important to Mexican Latinos isn't always the same as whats important to Cuban Latinos .Thinking that Rubio on a presidential ticket will get the GOP the Hispanic vote is wishful thinking.Mexicans distance themselves from both Puerto Ricans and Cubans but Cubans more so
Carter wasn't perfect but he wasn't setting new records for deficit spending like Reagan,Bush and Obama
Unemployment and inflation are part of the economic cycle,it comes and goes and the country can recover
Massive deficits,tax cuts for the rich,trickle down economics, piling on the national debt etc do much more harm in the long term then Carter did
