GOP Lost Hispanic Votes (True) GOP Lost White Votes (Media Does Not Talk About That)
Posted on November 18, 2006
The Washington Post writes “Republicans Lost Ground With Latinos In Midterms” and that is a TRUE statement.
The problem is that Republicans lost ground with all voters. The New York Times has a fascinating web/chart site that lets you compare vote percentages for 20 plus years.
First, I would say that it is not fair to compare a 2006 mid term with 2004 Presidential results. If you compare 2006 with 2002, you will find that Hispanic GOP support declined by 8%.
Here is the dirty little secret. The GOP also saw support by Whites drop 8%. Hmm, do you think we will see articles that the GOP should pander to the biggest voting bloc and regain the “White Voting Bloc?”
