Hispanics turn cold shoulder to McCain

Despite championing immigration reform in 2007, John McCain is poised to lose the Hispanic vote by a landslide margin that is well below President George W. Bush's 2004 performance.

Polls show Obama winning the broadest support from Latino voters of any Democrat in a decade, while McCain is struggling to reach 30 percent, closer to Senator Bob Dole's dismal 1996 result than to Bush's historic 40% four years ago.

McCain seems to have wound up with the worst of both worlds: He appears to be getting no credit from Latino voters for his past support for immigration reform, while carrying the baggage of other Republicans' hostility to illegal immigration.

As October puts four states with large Hispanic populations - Florida, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico - at the center of the presidential contest, what appeared at first to be a possible strength for McCain has emerged as a profound weakness.

2. Everywhere you look, the signs are good.

I think people maybe surprised by how strong a majority comes out for him. People who generally don't vote--you know, "unlikely voters," the ones they never sample.

3. His hateful rallies will continue to drive them to Obama

4. What about Arizona?

I have wet dreams where Obama wins in a landslide and the cherry on the cake is Arizona.

Wet dreams usually feel so good.
