Off Topic » in reply to Jeb Bush got 65 percent of the Florida Hispanic vote

It is not surprising, really

His wife is hispanic, if I recall.
I think he speaks decent spanish.
I know GW does.
They offer policies beyond ethnic ward-heeler politics.
As Sanchez demonstrated in Texas, just because you have a spanish last name and tlak about being for 'la raza', doesn't mean that hispanics, like african americans, will vote in lock step.
I hope the larger Republican party will build on this.
Getting the large ethnic blocks in this country to vote for their personal interests and values, rather than voting ethno-race, is one of the abiding challenges to the long term ability of our Republic to survive.
