Have Hispanics Forced the GOP into Electoral College Bankruptcy?

Income is pretty irrelavant to all voting. Blacks overwhelmingly vote Dem. Jews and Browns vote solidly but somewhat less Dem. And whites vote strongly but not overwhelmingly GOP. The conservatives have very much painted themselves into a corner, but I feel certain they can find a new wedge issue that will have half of America clutching their pearls. They always do.
That's the thing about Republicans. They are master salesmen. It's who they are. Business and what not. Most likely it will be something that they Dems think of. Dems are innovaters. Creative thinkers. Key example being Jimmy Carter and the nutters. Brilliant, if very sleazy, idea. Get God on your side. Go for the full Elmer Gantry. And then Reagan demolished Jimmy at his own game.
What the GOP can't do is keep looking backward. Just for the lulz, I like to listen to conservative Christian radio. It's far more about politics than it is about religion, but I digress. There is a constant appeal to a mythic past. The Founders! And how much they loved Jesus! And Reagan! And how much he loved Jesus! Republicans need a fresh face and forward thinking. Call themselves something new. Which is what was so brilliant about the Tea Party. Same old product, new name. It can mean all things to all people. If browns hate the Republicans fine. We're not Republicans. We're something else.

Bottom line: It’s the economy, stupid. How I perceive the economy and how they perceive the economy are two worlds. That’s why I don’t understand it.

Allow me to help you understand. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_policy_of_the_George_W._Bush_administration
