Polls show Obama winning the broadest support from Latino voters of any Democrat in a decade!

[ClarkUSA]

Politico reports:

Despite championing immigration reform in 2007, John McCain is poised to lose the Hispanic vote by a landslide margin
that is well below President George W. Bush's 2004 performance.

Polls show Obama winning the broadest support from Latino voters of any Democrat in a decade, while McCain is struggling
to reach 30 percent, closer to Senator Bob Dole's dismal 1996 result than to Bush's historic 40% four years ago.

McCain seems to have wound up with the worst of both worlds: He appears to be getting no credit from Latino voters for his
past support for immigration reform, while carrying the baggage of other Republicans' hostility to illegal immigration...
Democrats relish McCain's quandary.

"We're seeing the most aggressive Spanish language communication campaign for president that the state of Florida and the
country has ever seen," said Fernand Amandi, the executive vice president of Bendixen and Associates, a polling firm that
advises Obama... Recent Gallup surveys show McCain with just 26 percent of the Hispanic vote... When Obama said last fall
that he would support states' decisions to issue drivers licenses to illegal immigrants, Hillary Clinton's pollster Mark Penn
told her staff that Obama might have just lost himself the election.

"We thought he was going to get killed over it," recalled a Clinton staffer, who said Penn's polling portrayed it as so
"lethal" that it could cost Obama the reliably Democratic state of California.

Guess alot of people were wrong about Obama not connecting with Hispanic voters, eh?

1. That was a pile, wasn't it?

Funny how the numbers change when you put Obama against a Republican rather than a Democrat.:freak:

[ClarkUSA]

4. Yes, it was: Mark Penn and the MSM were so wrong about Obama's electability in many ways...

<< Funny how the numbers change when you put Obama against a Republican rather than a Democrat.>>

Yeah, amazing how Hispanics noticed the difference, huh? :eyes:

And guess what? He'll surprise on the white women/men vote come Election Day, too.

2. Si se Puede!~ Viva

La Raza~ Viva Obama Viva Biden:toast: :patriot: :patriot:

[ClarkUSA]

5. Viva Obama/Biden!

Si se puede, amiga. :toast:

3. I hope so. If Obama can be elected a latino or a woman can be elected

too. We all need each other. :hug:

[ClarkUSA]

7. If anything, the numbers will trend even more towards Obama in the next 25 days.

The country is going to need a President with aloha spirit after all the damage BushCo has wrought.

And yes, his candidacy has flung open the doors to all. Aloha! :hug:

[BlooInBloo]

6. And once again, Clinton supporters proven to be completely 100% wrong.

[Cha]

8. Maybe it was just wishful thinking?

:)

[BlooInBloo]

10. Almost certainly. Like "Obama won't win any states". ROFLMAO!!!

[ClarkUSA]

11. David Axelrod > Mark Penn (by a factor of 1 million)

I'm glad this old canard is forever dead and buried. History will note that President Obama was greatly beloved by Hispanics,
Native Americans, Asians, and yes, white working-class voters.

[BlooInBloo]

12. So much for the "can't seal the deal" bullshit too.

[ClarkUSA]

14. Yeah, all that sublimally racist code phrase bullshit.

Even the most hardcore PUMAs on certain blogs have stopped saying, "He'll never get elected."

This is pure schadenfreude. :)

[Cha]

13. And White

Women...we love Democracy in Action~

:toast: Clark

[ClarkUSA]

15. Yes, and Obama is closing the gap on White Men, too.

I think that Obama will exceed all MSM racial expectations on Election Day.

Democracy in Action - we're almost there, zidzi! :toast:

Can't wait to say President Obama on Nov. 5 (but I'm keeping my nose to the organizing
grandstone until I do).

[Kahuna]

26. Well that too. I never believed it. nt

9. What would it be if you took out the Cuban vote?

[ClarkUSA]

16. Interesting point; older Cubans tend to vote GOP while younger ones are pro-Obama.

Not sure how large of a factor they are outside of Miami, but McCain's support probably derives no small amount of percentage
points from anti-Castro Cubanos.

17. My latino friends are all BIG Obama supporters now...

they loved Hillary in the primary, but they have come around to Obama now...as I would have come around to Hillary had things turned out differently.

[ClarkUSA]

19. That's great. What state are you/they from?

If you don't mind me asking, that is. :)

Just wondering if it's a battleground state or one of the "safe" states.

[progressiveforever]

20. We all live in Ohio...and yes, they vote

Great bunch of guys...my life is richer for knowing them.

[ClarkUSA]

21. That's even better. OH is the most important battleground state of all, IMO.

Those kind of friendships for life, I tell ya. I'm sure you were a great rep for Obama, too.

Say, what's it like on the ground where you are in Ohio? Is Obama catching on rapidly due to the recent economic horror stories
and the debates?

18. K & R

[WindRiverMan]

22. I have never known a non-democratic hispanic!

Of course I grew up in the southwest where lots of people were of Mexican ancestry. I never understood why latinos of Cuban ancestry were so Republican oriented.

[BlooInBloo]

23. The US banana-republic guys worked with racist Cuban banana-republic guys...

That's who Castro overthrew, and who came to south Florida (initially).
