Hispanics are so essential to win, I don't understand the Republican Party :/
you have to remember many of these new voters are children of illegals that have become anchor babies, now grown up and able to vote. Funny, that wasn't in the news story. More one sided lib poor reporting.
It doesn't say Hispanic's won't vote for a republican.....it says they're not registering as republicans and instead are registering as independents....which is the same trend for all voters.
I don't think it's so much about the republican party not being interested in the Hispanic vote....it's the democratic party trying to convince Hispanic voters that the republican party doesn't care about them or want their vote (that their the party of old white men) and that they as democrats represent the best interests of the Hispanic voters. Personally, I don't think they've done anything special to show that, other than talk about it a lot.....they've dragged their feet as much as any one on immigration reform. By doing that, they've benefited the most from the Hispanic vote so far. As much as some might support amnesty, I don't think the majority of the country will and they know that.....we've already done that in the past and this is where it's taken us.....so, unless their willing to cram immigration reform through congress (like they just did with the healthcare bill) that includes amnesty, they're better off just talking about it and doing nothing.....like they're doing......otherwise they'll be the bad guys....right now they're suppose to be the good guys but, that's a lot better than being the bad guys.

Err..you have to remember that many of these new voters are LEGAL voters, not the fallacy you claim here as ONLY legal citizens get to vote.
Funny how that wasn't in the news story, as the one sided ultra right fanatical wingers wish it to be. Probably because it wasn't true, and they unlike "entertainers" have actual journalistic standards.

It'll offend all the easily offended liberals when the Mexicans are shoving Catholicism down their throats, ironically.
The Republican party is using the Southern strategy and appealing to rednecks. They will however continue to have the support of the Uncle Juans
Uncle Juans? Haha...the Latino thought police strike again!!! I guess I'm a thought criminal for not keeping in step...oh well...
I'm Hispanic...I'm only 24 and when I think about it...I'm honestly pretty conservative. I'll probably end up voting Republican if they get rid of people like Sarah Palin.

Don't use Palin as an excuse to not vote for them, she's not running for office so she's irrelevant. I'm 22 Hispanic and vote Republican regardless, she doesn't run in my district so why should I care?
I'm sorry i do not care what most of you think, but you can never connect the way on group thinks, with every single one of them. They are all different with their own individual minds. Most of my educated Hispanic Friends, and i mean educated, are all for the Law in Arizona. Yes they were all born here, and they had parents who have worked darn hard, to make a good life for their children. They are not for any boycotting of Arizona, i am not saying that the more educated the person, the difference in how they think, but none of us think the same. I am sure a lot of hispanics may run to the Dems, but so be it, this is the way it has always been with most hispanic voters. I just happen to know those who were born here, that do not agree with illegals being in this Country, at all, and they do not have a problem, setting other hispanics straight. You cannot ever say, all of one group thinks in the same way, because that is not how it is. A lot yes, but not all.

The Mexicans should RUN and not "drift" away from the Republican Party. The Republicans hate the Mexicans and only want to make their existence more miserable than it already is. You will never see a Republican that wants to help the Mexicans. They despise them- even the "legal" ones. They make no distinction between legal and illegal when it comes to bashing immigrants. If you ain't white, you ain't right. The blacks learned that and so will the Mexicans.
