Texas might swing to the left in future elections

[Procrustes]

Second largest electoral votes after CA

Non-Hispanic Whites composed 45.3%.

Minorities are growing fast: Hispanics, Asians, Blacks

Do the math.

CA 55 + TX 38 + NY 29 + IL 20 + FL 29 (Latino stronghold states)

Dem control of White House for generations.

You sir have just summarized up why even the Republicans move left. Minorities have been made a culture dependents. Now that its, "whoever gives me the most gets my vote," every politician will be posturing to take those votes. Its a very sad day we live in when during a single lifetime I can watch the worlds only hope sink with everybody else.

[JUSA]

Can't wait. Then, when some libtard jackass buffoon posts an IQ of red/blue states, Texas will jump from 75 to 115. Think how much smarter we will all be

[PzMyers]

I want to believe.

Any explanation why texas is deep red despite a stronghold for latino's ?

[TommyStarwind]

Didn't Bush get a huge latino push?

[Rexy]

strong racism assuming that Latinos will vote democrat no matter what.

Yes, because every minority is a welfare leech. Go **** yourself.

Was this ever different?

Once a habit forms, its tough to alter.

Dallas, Houston, Austin , San Antonio , West Texas and the Mexico Border are blue and Obama won those cites. Its the suburbs and exburbs and farmland where this rich man stay that are republican

True, Latino here. I didnt vote democrat.

But are there enough people in these suburbs and exburbs to counteract the blue vote ? (well obviously it's a yes, but its shocking)

[PzMyers]

Why do you vote against your interest ?

Maybe no legal voters.

Thank God, I think the counting the Latino vote as always being democrat is a mistake. Bush got 45% Latino vote.

[ZenBowman]

Latinos won't always vote Dem OP.

Once the GOP stops alienating and being hostile to Latinos I reckon a lot of them will find common ground with the Republican Party.

But exact moment GOP does that it'll lose its base of angry white men. Lose-Lose.

Not if they are dead and younger less bigoted people take their place.

Angry white men will not vote Dem any time soon.

Like I said, GOP will come around and start treating the reactionaries like filth, in the same way Dems treat the Occupy folks.

The grave GOP dug for themselves in front of Latinos is deep. GOP can only fill this grave by digging another one for themselves in front of teaparty/neocons/religious nuts.

Will be fun to watch.

[Procrustes]

Yes forward looking, innovative young GOP might end up saving the party.

[The_Zodiac]

Not so fast. I think the GOP might reform itself here and in doing so could start appealing to more minorities and women.

OP must be smokin crack again...

cliffs: stop illegal immigration

[Binders]

Georgia will also swing to the left.

Georgia had the second fastest growing Asian population growth in the U.S. from 1990 to 2000, more than doubling in size during the ten-year period.[32] In addition, according to census estimates, Georgia ranks third among the states in terms of the percent of the total population that is African American (after Mississippi and Louisiana) and third in numerical Black population after New York and Florida. Georgia was the state with the largest numerical increase in the black population from 2006 to 2007 with 84,000.

Georgia is the state with the third-lowest percentage of older people (65 or older), at 10.1 percent


30.5% Black or African American and growing rapidly

9% Hispanic and growing rapidly.

[Mulyark]

Black vote will decline in future elections.

FYI, Obama deported more illegals than Bush by monthly average.

Even then Latino growth is strong.

[JUSA]

About 40% voted for him, which is huge. I don't know off hand but I'm guessing Romney got less than half of that or somewhere in that ballpark.

IMO, Romney ****ed up. He should have sought the Latino vote and didn't. They almost begrudgingly vote for Obama/Democrats, simply b/c the GOP Party line is, "We HATE 'em! Took er jerbs!". The Hispanic news weren't very happy with Obama, he sold them a lot of empty promises in 2008 that they didn't forget about. It's like all Obama needed to do was go out there and say, "At least I'm not one of those guys!" and that sewed up their vote nice and tiddy.

Meanwhile, the GOP seems almost desperate to cling onto these social values, but won't seek out socially conservative Hispanics. Here you have a hard-working, family values, largely Religious group of people. Why the **** wouldn't you throw them a ****ing bone or two to get them to vote for you? It's not even that, they won't even stop throwing stones at them. It's like they go out of their way to keep them from voting their way. Very odd behavior.

They are pandering to nativists who would vote for them anyway, instead of going after undecided Hispanics. Makes no sense.

[socrates07]

yup i can't wait to be more latino so we can be prosperous like all those other latino countries... wait

Even the greatest of those countries, Brazil, is made up of slums.
