Could the hispanic, latino vote pull off Calif for Romney

It,s a big if but if Romney comes on strong with the hispanic vote it could be possible.

the 2008 election was close percentage wise in some counties Obama took in 08. If Romney could pull off Los Angeles hispanic voters would be a plus. But statewide is what counts.

California has a heavy hispanic population. Add the republican voters in with a strong hispanic vote for Romney.

Maybe

EXCERPT;

“No community values entrepreneurship and small business more than the Hispanic community. Unfortunately, President Obama’s failed policies of new regulations, higher taxes, and Obamacare and his anti-business rhetoric have hit Hispanics especially hard. Big government really hurts those who are trying to make it.  And with unemployment still abysmally high, the Obama economy is crushing Hispanics’ dreams for their children to live a better life.

The Hispanic community cannot afford four more years of double-digit unemployment and higher levels of poverty. Mitt Romney will stop the attacks on job creators, encourage entrepreneurs to chase their dreams, and bring good jobs and a better future to all Americans.”-Romney Campaign

Wisconsin votes today

I watched a portion of Hannity last night where they had a discussion segment with Wisc residents. Given the facts on what Walker has done for Wisc about half of the audience was still against Walker.

Are they voting on facts to better a state or nation?

Now lets discuss that question on what you are voting for.
