1. Ever since the jobs speech.

Yet the people who fashion themselves as the President's truest, bluest supporters are telling me that maintaining progressive integrity "results in nothing substantial."

...really isn't the point, and I don't know who you're referring to. In fact, your point may apply to the increase in Hispanic
support, but he also lost overall support.

The point is that his support is now above 50 percent among all but whites, whose approval is more than 20 percent lower than the other groups.

2. This is what will assure Democratic dominance in the coming decades.

9. It's going to take a while. A big chunk of the growing Hispanic population is too young too vote or

undocumented and unable to vote, while a disproportionate percentage of whites are older people who are most likely to vote.

12. We'll see it sooner than you realize.

As old teabaggers die off, young hispanics turn 18.

That is why you are seeing the warzone mentality in Arizona (repeal the 14th amendment, etc)
They can see what is coming before the rest of the Country.
And those teabaggers are up in arms about what is coming down the pike.

11. Global warming will render the whole left right political paradigm

Irrelevant within a decade.

We just need to look to the next election.

4. Until Marco Rubio gets named as a VP candidate.

Game over. My sincerest apologies to Hispanic voters who are able to see through this shit.

5. Don't be so sure of that.

Rubio is one of the biggest "illegal" immigration bashers out there. He opposed the Dream Act and every other piece of legislation that would have helped undocumented workers. The vast majority of Hispanics know that, and would likely be as insulted if they ran him as most women were when they gave Palin the VP slot in 2008.

6. Optimism springs eternal.

The vast majority of Hispanics know that

What makes you think that?

8. When he's only getting 35% among whites he will need better than 53%

among Hispanics to offset that. Yes, the rise in support among Hispanics is a positive development if true, but he needs to get into 60% territory with that group.

10. Oh, what do THEY know?

They obviously don't understand that President Obama doesn't care anything about them.
