The Univision/Reuters/Zogby poll released on Tuesday said that 78 percent of a sample of 1,016 Latino likely voters favored Sen. Obama, with 13 percent supporting McCain, an Arizona senator
With hispanics the fastet growing ethnic group this is way bad news for the future of the Republican party. The numbers are so outstandingly in favor of the Democrats that unless some huge new issue comes up that has an overriding effect on hispanic voters, the Democratic base is going grow at a fast clip.
I think this election, with its veiled Republican racism, and overt in some cases right wing racism, has hispanics thinking the Republican party is the party of racism. It is very difficult for a political party to overcome this type of belief.
In fact when you look at the strong Democratic lean of the youth of America which is putting far more Democrats into the election pool every year, coupled with the far more Democratic hispanics entering the voter rolls each year, this could the Republicans last chance for the Presidency or Congress for awhile.
A two term Democratic President would basically leave office with a whole new generation added to voter rolls. And these would be overwhelmingly Democratic.

There are plenty of non-church charities that you can give to - you don't have to rely on the government to mandate charity before you do it, even if you're not religious.Originally posted by: Moonbeam
Not me. I can't wait till I get to contribute more. I don't give to the church so it's government charity for me. Plus, I get to see some of the results. I am a wave that lifts all boats. I have endless bounty.
Which is ironic, since most of the major strides in that area are being made with private funding at this point.Originally posted by: Moonbeam
I like big projects that charities could never handle, like energy independence.

I don't know about that. The youth of the country have always been strongly Democrat. It's once they get real jobs, start making money and want to keep it that they start voting Republican.

I think that the idea that Bush has put the nail in the coffin of republicans is not entirely hyperbole. There is such an upsurge now against republicans and as mentioned the demographics of this nation are changing fast. If you want to win, you don't get on the losing side of that. Unless obama is an utter disaster, the republicans are going to have a hell of a time in 2012, very possibly.

So what are you saying here. That this proves that whites aren't racist like anymore.
Unlike you . I see racism in those numbers. But not by whites. You need a reality check here. THE BLACKS voted by RACE. So did hispanics. SO racism is strong and doing well in America. The only differance is whites are the minority now .
And its shows in your graph who voted along race lines. But in reality nothing changed because the race that showed racism in there vote is the new president so nothing has changed other than it will be along long time befor we see another White Pres. Minority white race lost the power . As they become even smaller number per population. Because of birth rates in the black and hispanic families are much higher than white families. The White eyes who speak with forked tongue . Are getting what they so richly deserve.

Thats funny because it went the other way for me as I grew older, richer and more mellow. I'm no longer the 'angry young man' and realize I live in the midst of society.
