Republicans have been given fair warning.
Should GOP senators treat Sonia Sotomayor as contemptuously as Democrats
treated Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito, they should expect
Hispanic hostility for a generation.
The chutzpah of this Beltway crowd does not cease to amaze.
They archly demand that conservatives accord a self-described “affirmative
action baby” from Princeton a respect they never for a moment accorded a
pro-life conservative mother of five from Idaho State, Sarah Palin.
Pundits here gets hoots of appreciation for doing to a white Christian woman
what would constitute a hate crime if done to a “wise Latina woman.” But, as
no Republican who followed the script of the mainstream media ever won a
national election, why should the party pay them mind?
The imperative of the GOP is not to appease a city that went 93-7 for Obama,
but to win back its lost voters.
In 2008, Hispanics, according to the latest figures, were 7.4 percent of the
total vote. White folks were 74 percent, 10 times as large. Adding just 1
percent to the white vote is thus the same as adding 10 percent to the
candidate’s Hispanic vote.
If John McCain, instead of getting 55 percent of the white vote, got the 58
percent George W. Bush got in 2004, that would have had the same impact as
lifting his share of the Hispanic vote from 32 percent to 62 percent.
