At least you still have the Jewish vote, must really kill you to have to reply on them to get you elected right?

Latinos are indeed, IMO, the next group running the gauntlet towards eventual merging as the Irish and Germans first did followed by northern, southern and eastern Europeans and Asians, and they are already voting either as Dems or Reps like the others. In fact, Bush got 40-some percent of Latino votes in 2004 by courting social and religious conservatives where many Latinos find themselves. The kickback on immigration as a wedge issue will cause a backlash in the near future, but over time with continued acceptance and intermixings I expect they'll just be the next Joe Average American on the street, intermixed with other ethnicities to a great degree, whose had ancestors from Latin America who migrated here. It's already happening.
