Any Catholics that move towards the GOP are white ones, notice that Hispanics became more Democratic. Is there trouble brewing in the southwest and maybe even Texas for Republicans? The problem for the GOP is that any Republican electoral strategy to prevent any sort of "amnesty" for illegals in order to shore up their numbers only sets them back further with Latinos. Any sort of platform to win them over again at Bush-level numbers would require a non-xenophobic platform that at least supports the DREAM Act, which would never be tolerated by the GOP in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas etc.
It should be surprising to no one that the Democrats are struggling with working class whites, especially in the "Heartland".
