Among registered Latino voters in the 21 most Latino-heavy states, Obama’s advantage is far greater, exceeding two-to-one margins in every case. The president is up 65 percent to 22 percent on Cain, 67 percent to 24 percent on Romney and 68 percent to 21 percent on Perry.

I saw this poll yesterday on Univision's nightly national telecast but apparently the English speaking media has ignored it. The amount of hispanics who voted is expected to double from 6.6 million in 2008 to 12.2 million in 2012. This obviously is very good news for President Obama.

Why else do you think he used the Executive Order to institute the DREAM ACT for students instead of legislatively?

It is good to be Dictator and it would seem the OP agrees with such tactics.

I would have to wonder how many black people may vote for Cain because they are conservative and don't like Obama other than his color. Obama has to win the Hispanic vote, many of those you spoke of would be illegal voters because of their citizenship status, if he is going to beat Cain.

Again and again, i fail to see what a person's ethnicity or race has to do with politics. Are "Latinos" or "hispanics" just a bunch of mind numb followers, slaves to some sort of political ideology based upon their DNA?

I doubt if old Rob even knows about that executive order. I am sure that he doesn't know why Obama did it if he does know.

I do wonder how many of the Hispanics mentioned in that story will have their votes thrown out because they are illegal aliens.

Read MOgal's reply and see why most think that many Hispanics will be voting for Obama whether they are legal voters or not.

This is a huge problem for the GOP now and into the future. Right or wrong, Republicans and their policies are seen as anti-Latino. Many states that the GOP has been able to count on or at least have been contestable for electoral college votes like Florida, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado may go Democratic forever based on changing demographics.

People can be bought by Congressman who give them redistributed benefits.

“When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”

Short answer: Yes. Most of them.

Black people are no different.
