California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks at the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce's annual convention in this Aug. 25, 2005 file photo, in Oakland, Calif. The governor's advisers say that for a Republican to win in Democratic-leaning California, he still needs a third of Hispanics along with a majority of white votes. To that end, Schwarzenegger has embarked on a series of campaign and state-sponsored events designed to win coverage in the Spanish-language media. He also has hired Hispanics in his state office as well as his campaign. (AP Photo/Noah Berger, File)

I do not see this as being a great drop. I would guess when the votes are counted in November Arnold will get around a third of the votes again.
The media and the unions repeat lies and mischaracterizations until the perception becomes reality.
BINGO!
What isn't mentioned is that amongst those who went thru the system and came here legally or have assimilated and become US citizens thru the process, many of those would support him but are as put off by the pandering as the rest of us.
Add the California Ilk Herd to the list.
We'll see soon enough if his moving to the middle, even trying to gain favor with the illegals crowd is worth the effort.
The only way we could ever win the hispanic vote is to out do the Dems when it comes to handouts. And that is something I never want to see us do.
"even trying to gain favor with the illegals crowd "
You must not be aware that Arnold reiterated his support for the minutemen.
Starting off with a comment from someone who apparently either isn't aware of how much more is being spent on education than ever before, or is out and out lying or could be a product of the California public school system , was not a good opening. Pretty blatant indeed, both reflecting ignorance of theat potential voter and that it was an ap piece, well very predictable unfortunately.
-- and then..
But in this working class neighborhood, where many residents own modest homes, rely on the public school system and are beginning to send a first generation of children to college, voters often did not remember the Minutemen episode.
-- Those who are already here illegally etc, wouldn't likely be overly concerned about the Minuteman phenomenon if you will.. unless they have to cross the border. ;-)
As long as he/she has an (R) after his/her name, any candidate will not get the Black or Latino vote.
Add the California Ilk Herd to the list.
What's the bag limit on them these days anyway? I know you been trying to thin that herd out for years.. lol
Here's hoping the power stays online the next few days,,
Are they flat out lying or a product and parcel of the system they now rail against.
Re' the Minuteman, you got any shots of the GUb hugging Jim Gilchrist or his appearance at the La Raza convention, some sites seem to have conveniently misplaced them. Thanks!
Stay cool!
Like California Hispanics were going to vote for a Republican, anyway...
THere were also some great pictures of Arnold and Tom McC campaigning together a while ago, on Yahoo news pictures, but those were pulled also.
