Actually, Pete Wilson got more of the California Latino vote than did George W. Bush.

Wilson got 25% (source). Bush only got 22% (source) .

These exit poll results have margins of error bigger than 3%, so statsitically Wilson's and Bush's showings are about the same. However, the point still stands: the notion that Wilson alienated California hispanic voters and that Bush is winning the back is pure myth.

There are several things wrong with your #17:

Bush never campaigned in CA. He wrote the state off. Its the 187 thingy.

The same CNN exit polls that you linked to show Bush recieving 35% nationally.

The CNN exit polls that you linked to wouldn't show Texas results but in the 1988 Gubernatorial VNS polls Bush recieved 49%.

BTW, don't believe everything you read in Time magazine.
