I wonder how Kyl thinks he's going to win re-election in 2012. He only got 53% of the vote in 2006 against a mediocre candidate, and it's not like the Hispanic vote in Arizona is shrinking.

An insignificant amount of Hispanics will base their vote off of who voted to confirm Sotomayor.  They aren't that simple-minded of a people, Lief.

I think you're forgetting that Obama won NV and so put Ensign in the wrong category.

No sh**t dude, the point he is trying to make is that this is an anti-latino posturing. Sotomayor extremely high favorables among Latinos across the board, even among many latino Republicans. Meanwhile Rush Limbaugh has ridiculously low favorables among latinos(in the single digits I think). By voting against Sotomayor, Kyl is aligning himself with the "Limbaugh" wing of the party. That won't help on election day.

So Hispanics in Arizona will see Kyl as "anti-Hispanic" for voting against Sotomayor?  Give me a break.

More so than if he voted for Sotomayor...

Anyways I don't think you really understand the persona of Mexican-Americans as opposed to other latino groups. Hatred against us is much greater than anyother group and as a whole ridiculous claims of right wing racism work better than in any other group. The ad's that were used against McCain that basically claimed he was a racist, were actually quite affective.

Anyways that vote as a whole will affect Kyl somewhat. Latino turnout could increase if a Democratic opponent used an ad attacking on opposing her nomination and perhaps other less than favorable to latino views he has taken.
