Latino voters overwhelmingly support President Obama over any of the potential GOP candidates, according to a Fox News Latino poll released on Monday.
In a head-to-head match-up against Obama, none of the Republican candidates polled higher than 14 percent among Latinos.

Additionally, 73 percent said they approved of the job the president has been doing, well above Gallup’s national average of 45 percent. Fifty-eight percent said they approved of the president’s handling of the economy, which polls show voters rank as the most important issue in the 2012 election.

While the Taliban tries to retake Afghanistan so they can deny women an education, and while the Republican party tries to retake the White House so they can deny women reproductive healthcare, the real world goes on.

If you can't get a reasonable percentage of the Latino vote folks, you can't win the White House.

An excellent point. More will be voting in this election than ever before.

This whole silly debate over the right of the Catholic Church to deny women medicine will not win over women, either.

Pure and unadulterated ignorance.  But at least the MSM is happy

Democrats often, possibly with justification, appear to depend upon a lack of any kind of logical process within the minds of voters; this time by trumpeting that the resistance to taxpayer-funded contraception or mandating religious organizations provide them, means that their rivals are against contraception. If we taxpayers were against providing Sandra Fluke with a free car, that would apparently mean we were against people driving cars

Notice how easy it is to get one of our far-right loonies to prattle on about contraception. Notice what the opening post is about.

The Elephant in the Room = Marco Rubio

Oooops Rubio will syphon off just enough Latinos to destroy Obama's fragile coalition.

[Christians4LessGvt]

Plus Latinos don't like Obama skyrocketing gas prices!

[Xavier_Onassis]

Rubio will get Cuban votes, and that is it. Puerto Ricans, Mexicans and others know him to be a prettyboy Fascist airhead and will not vote for him at all. He said he is NOT going to run for VP. So in the unusual case that he does, he will be a liar.

Notice the dem that keeps prattling on with the asanine notion the GOP wants to deny women from getting BC, when its never once been about BC

    I don't know the why here.

      What has President Obama done that Hispanics like?

What has President Obama done that Hispanics like?

=================================
He has not been as intolerant about Hispanics being here. He has opposed anti-immigrant laws and ID checks in places like Arizona and Alabama. He has supported the Dream Act, and tried to get a better way of dealing with the problem than hollering about how all illegals must be rounded up and deported.

He has mostly limited deportations to illegals who have broken the laws.

He is also more understanding of the poor. He does not blather on and on about how the poor are not poor enough and  should be taxed so they have "skin in the game".

He is also more understanding of the poor.

SIRS...ya gotta admit Obama is an expert on the
poor because he creates so many poor people!
