...even though it is largely faulty, as changing Hispanic voting patterns demonstrate.

I think the perception by some people that Hispanics will eventually vote conservative is rooted in the belief that because a large number of them are Catholic that they'll see the light and turn against the hedonistic ways of democrats. I think that's a stretch however. Latin American countries are overwhelmingly Catholic yet have the highest unwed birth rates in the world. Colombia is 75% Catholic yet 84% of the births are out of wedlock. Clearly there's a large gulf between what the Church teaches and what Latin Americans actually practice. Expecting them to illegally enter the U.S. and suddenly start acting like faithful Christians is expecting an awful lot that in all likelihood won't happen.

Also add Cubans who fled Castro where the first generation overwhelmingly voted Republican which sort of helped neutralize the South Floridian retirees from NY/Northeast that vote democrat. The Cuban numbers that vote Repub are dwindling as the generations progress.
