“I would rather lose 100% of the “Hispanic vote” to a good conservative candidate...”

Really? Then you have just lost about 300 electoral votes, the states of Texas, AZ, NM, Cali, Colorado, Florida, and maybe even Georgia.

If/when Hispanics vote 3 to 1 for Democrats, we get the kind of crappy results we got in 2008. WE dont ever want to go through that again.

There are a lot of other ways to vote illegally than to be in the country illegally... and most of them appear to have been used in this election.

Hispanics made up 18 percent of those voting in the Nevada election -- a much larger than average showing in a non-presidential election. Had Angle won as large a share of Hispanics as did the successful Republican gubernatorial candidate, Brian Sandoval, she'd be Senator-elect Angle today. Instead, she chose to engage in illegal-immigrant bashing as her theme in the last days of the election, with reprehensible ads that depicted illegal immigrants as stealing jobs from Nevadans and terrorizing families as violent gang members.

Sandoval is a Hispanic. They voted for their own.
However, Angle did screw up. She should have run an add showing Reid's support for positions similar to hers in the 1990s and how he sells out Nevadans for votes. She should have explained that the biggest losers from illegal immigration are Americans of Hispanic descent, followed by African Americans.
