Exit Polls: Latino voters tip balance
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/11/05/exit-polls-where-latino-voters-tipped-the-balance/ ^

According to exit poll results released thus far, Latino voters voted for Barack Obama over John McCain by a more than a 2-1 margin nationally: 66 percent to 31 percent. The proportion voting for the Democratic candidate is up sharply from 2004, when 55 percent of Latino voters supported John Kerry and 44 percent voted for President Bush.

Latinos are responsible for Obama's victory in New Mexico and contributed strongly to his margins in Nevada and Colorado. In New Mexico, Latinos constituted 41 percent of the electorate and voted for Obama by a 69 percent to 30 percent margin; white voters in New Mexico supported McCain 56 percent to 42 percent.

It will only get worse. Democrats are going to lure more poor Mexicans over here for more government handouts (wealth redistribution) and create a permanent democrat majority.

This election was a measurement: the Lord always knew, but now we know who truly belongs to Him and who was unfaithful.

Psalm 37
(7) Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. (34) Wait for the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

I’m sure calling him Juan McCain for speaking to LEGAL immigrants didn’t help with them either.
The party needs to rethink its priorities before we lose ANOTHER minority to the Democrats’ hand outs and gubmit cheese.

`7 out of 10 “latinos” for Obama.’
Also New Mexico exit polls showed 87% of self-described PUMAs voted for Obama.
Lie down with dogs...

There’s a sort of justice in this. I’m devastated that Mac and Sarah lost but Mac has always hitched his wagon to the wrong people. He was under the illusion that since the media LOVED him when he was bucking his party that it meant that they’d ALWAYS love him. And when he was spitting in the faces of Americans while siding with the illegals they just loved him. Once they had a welfare king to vote for they jumped right off. The one other thing that killed him was his super-constitutional campaign finance bill. Sometimes it works out that you get what you pay for.

He isn’t going to be known as “President Ofraudo” for nothing.

The PUMAs were in the tank for Obama all along. What else would you expect from dried out menopausal hags, homos, lesbians and liberals?

Hispanics went with a fellow traveler? Makes perfect sense to me.

Way to lose an entire voting block of hard working Christians. Republicans came off as bigots and played right into Dem hands. McCain and others tried to tell us this would happen, here’s the proof.

I understand its a security issue but Savage and others made us look like racists. Unforgivable.

Worst part is we still have McCain and Lindsey Graham in The Senate. If we can move the party away from those two, we have hope for the next election.

Will John McCain break from Mitch McConnel and other conservatives in the senate to vote for Obama’s soon to come amnesty bill?

“It will only get worse. Democrats are going to lure more poor Mexicans over here for more government handouts (wealth redistribution) and create a permanent democrat majority.”

—this REALLY is the most serious issue. There has to be a revolt in this country against the open borders, etc.

Or perhaps it will take a national disaster coming through the border before we wake up. As horrible as it sounds that may be what we need.
