I don't see much hope at all.

If the things that this country originally stood for before we become so focused on skin color aren’t enough to attract these voters then we’re lost anyway.

California has so much debt they might not have the cash to run another election.

I agree with have to make a play for Hispanics but not at the cost at having open borders

There must be some way we can do this and if we did then the Dems would be really screwed in future elections and I guarantee the black community would not be happy

I really like Tom Campbell. I’ve met him several times. He lives near me, and I’ve run into him at the grocery store. (He would be the only one there in a suit.) He helped out a group of parents that were having problems with San Jose Unified. He’s a nice guy.

I don’t agree with all of his politics, but he’s a good guy. He’s also very smart.

The only reason why we're losing the Hispanic vote is because we're against illegal immigration. It wouldn't hurt though to focus on the pro-life issue since most of them are Catholic.

California (or America) of 10 years is ago is not the California of today. 10 more years of hardcore leftwing indoctrination in public schools and universities. 10 more years of constant media bombardment of leftist ideals. The opportunity to win Hispanics en masse has passed us by.

I live in a SoCal city with alot of illegal immigrants. And when I say alot, I mean thounsands, if not tens of thousands. There is no way to deport them all or coerce enough of them to self-deport in numbers that would make any real difference.

That being said, there is material to work with. Many immigrants are fiercely entrepenurial and will go where the money is. They are also culturally conservative and have many family members in the military.

Finally, they keep wages low that should be low (e.g. gardening, housekeeping, fast food).

You man the secret to gaining the Hispanic vote by conservatives is to treat them the same as everyone else and not pander to the extremists within the group, and instead target the average ‘Hispanic’ who is likely already a religious conservative hijacked by a socialist group bent on taking part of the United States and declaring it’s own state?

Gosh, who would have thought that...

Let not your heart be troubled....

I can’t quite recall where...but I read a piece by a gentleman named Jesse Romero. Romero (Catholic Lay Evangelist, jesseromero.com) asserted that Catholics almost HAD to vote Republican for some of the reasons stated in your referenced article.

There are Hispanics who get it...Romero does.

How? By appealing to the Golden State's fastest-growing demographic group, Hispanics.

Could someone tell specifically me how we do this?

What the hell are we all supposed to do?

Is the author suggesting we make all the Mexican illegals, legal?

How are we supposed to "Appeal" to them? Are we not talking about legal American citizens here, that we are suppose to "appeal" to?

Are we supposed to give them gifts? What is it??
