No, he isn't. Hispanic is a culture. Romney lived most of his life here in the U.S. and culturally he is not Hispanic.

I'm not sure where these libs are getting their info from. Romney has made a concerted effort for Asian Americans in Virginia and it is paying dividends. Also Asians are not a monolith.

Yeah, because we all know little old ladies have massive demand for government paid condums and abortions.

He seems to rank high with cartoon characters, both Donald and Duffy Duck are fans of Obama, and will try to vote for him.

They have daughters, granddaughters, nieces . . . . don't assume that social issues don't matter to a lot of them.

That said - I would guess a whole lot of that demographic is going to support R.

and here is what Obama said to a group of black supporters.

Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying.

The quiet liberal City-Data P&OC forum voters who are creeped out by the weird Tea Partiers and don't post

Pot smokers.
There are legalization amendments on the ballot in Colorado, Oregon, and Washington. Colorado is a swing state and the legalization initiative there is very popular. If it brings out voters, these will most likely vote for Obama, Johnson, Stein, or another 3rd party candidate.
