Road Trip: The Effect Of The Hispanic Vote In Las Vegas May Not Stay In Vegas By Bob Sacha & Zach Wise

LAS VEGAS—This city has seen more political commercials than anywhere else in 2012, more than anywhere else in the history of presidential campaigns: 73,000 TV ads, according to The New York Times. In an election with only a handful of states that are considered up for grabs, the importance of Nevada's six electoral votes was highlighted when President Barack Obama chose Lake Las Vegas, a golf resort east of here, as the place to spend three days preparing for the first presidential debate.

The state's Hispanic voters are especially sought-after: According to Jim Messina, the Obama campaign manager, Latino voters are particularly crucial this year in Nevada, as well as in Colorado and Florida. "As evidenced by the explosive growth among Latinos, Nevada offers a case study in the demographic changes that are transforming large swaths of the country and, in the process, reshaping the electoral map," David Damore, a political scientist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, told Yahoo News. "As older white voters die out, they'll be replaced by nonwhite voters."

There are more than 50.5 million Hispanics in the United States. That's a 43 percent increase in the Hispanic population in the past 12 years.

The problem is, 30 million of them are illegal aliens and, for what’s worth, aren’t supposed to be voting.

Much to the socialists’ dismay, no group is the decider when whites decide mostly one way. Looks like that is happening in this election. Their only hope is to try and peel off white women from white men and if they can get white women, they can stand a chance to win.

Yes. Right on. In a way, single white women become the deciders
