Reply #3: Would of course prefer Meek, but the arithmetic is [View All]

not there. I don't think there's a case to be made that a stronger effort would have resulted in a likely Meek victory in this Senate race.

I agree with Ken Burch. Crist was not a reasonable choice for Democratic voters on grounds that Meek was not likely to win a statewide ballot in Florida.

Let's see how the Hispanic vote breaks in California this year before jumping to the conclusion that Jeb Bush and Karl Rove have stolen those votes from Democrats. A Rubio victory in this race does not equal a trend nationally among Hispanic voters toward the GOP, and Rubio's long-term appeal is not a guarantee anyway.

I believe the appointment of Sonya Sotomayor to the Supreme Court registers as a very significant gesture of inclusion of Hispanics, and at a very high level, and by a Democratic president.
