CA Again Proves No "Hispanic Vote"
The California governor's race is yet another useful reminder to President Bush's reelection team that there is no such thing as a "Hispanic vote" -- just Hispanic voters. The Modesto Bee reports:
[O]bviously, not all Hispanics voted by race. Just over half of the Hispanic vote, 52 percent, went to Bustamante in the recall election. Schwarzenegger netted 30 percent. ... [Political Science professor Larry] Giventer said the reason Hispanics did not all vote the same way is simple: Hispanics are not a homogenous group.
Giventer needs to be put on the payroll of the Republican National Committee, and soon, for his clear-eyed reading of these political facts that seem so obscure to many RNC staff.
