Hispanics are voting for him by 30% margin over Romney. The Republicans tough talk about building a wall on the Mexican border is coming back to bite them on the ass. Especially here in Nevada. The Hispanic electorate will probably decide this state and many others as well.

So Obama has women sewed up (thanks to the Repubs insane stance on abortion & women's rights), blacks voting on racial grounds, and Hispanics because of Repub idiocy over mexico.

Makes it real tough for Romney to win with that stacked against him right out the gate. It's a testament to how much of a failure Obama is that this race is so close and could still go to Romney.
The only reason it's even close is because much as your statement saying Blacks will vote for Obama no matter what the same holds true for the tea party & religious right. They will vote for Mitt Romney no matter what simply because he's Republican.

It doesn't matter who they put in front of them.. I mean really these are the people who voted for MacCain after he made the choice to run Sarah Palin for gods sake. It wouldn't matter if they put a monkey in front of the TV, as long as he wore a shirt that had a big "R" on it's chest then they would vote for them.

That's the issue with Conservative's.. They vote for their party vs who might do a better job for the country. Now of course the Left has some of this same mentality but it's no where near as in-trenched as it is on the right. On the left it tends to be this way more with the Minorities out of any other specific group.
