The direct and intentional actions of the Republican party in California are in large part responsible for its in ability to break say 44-45% in most CA elections.
No it's the national party's fault for obsession over Jesus and what he would think about gay marriage and abortion. The state party, led by the Governator, understands how much the fundies are screwing his party.
Strange thing is that principle works in entirely the opposite way with Texas and New Mexico Hispanics and Colorado/Florida Hispanics to a lesser extent.
Key principle that most people are forgetting is that the Hispanic population acts differently depending on what region of the country you're in. That's what makes this poll kind of senseless - CA hispanics do not equal US hispanics.
So were you agreeing or disagreeing with me? Its been a long day.
You are correct, of course. Most of it has to do with CARLHAYDEN.
Besides, even in California the Hispanic vote will shade more for abortion restrictions and anti-gay restrictions than the white population in hyper-Republican areas will. There's an interesting hydraulic going on there in the numbers under the radar.
Good point and I'll even add the blacks to that. Take away civil rights issues, etc., voting blacks can be quite conservative on social issues and give a lot of money to their churches.
