Or maybe not enough?

No it wouldn't. Why do people assume Hispanics are single issue voters? Once let in, will they magically want to reform Medicare and social security and cut budgets? I think we all know the answer to that is "no." If Republicans joined President Obama in passing Obamacare, do you think they would get credit for that? I think not. The President and Democrats would receive the vast majority of credit since everyone knows those are ideas championed by Democrats.

I think you read that wrong. Puerto Rico voted for statehood. In fact, only 5% of Puerto Ricans voted for Independence.

Re: 2012 ELECTION DISCUSSION -- OBAMA WINS RE-ELECTION
Why not legalize heroin? Other opiates are legal. Heroin is no more harmful than the rest of 'em...really...it's just 'dirtier' because it's illegal.

Re: 2012 ELECTION DISCUSSION -- OBAMA WINS RE-ELECTION
In any case, meth is a way bigger issue than heroin.
Ugh. I can't even drive thru San Diego, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, or Long Beach without seeing tweakers in action...having starring contests with parking meters.
Anywho, Colorado -- here I come!

Re: 2012 ELECTION DISCUSSION -- OBAMA WINS RE-ELECTION
What I'd like to know is how did the measure to label GMO foods get defeated in CA? How much money did the Food Lobby have to spend to brainwash voters into thinking it's a BAD idea to label foods made with genetically modified ingredients. That one baffled me when I heard it lost on the View yesterday.

People voting Yes were voting on an idea but didn't pay enough attention to what the law itself would entail in terms of manufacturer to consumer cost increases and what would be included in labeling and what wouldn't be.

Different standards for different states and I am of the view that the closer government officials are to the people, the more responsive they are. Also, cut out an intermediary since states educate citizens here anyway.

Mitts aides wanted to contest FLA, VIRG, OHIO, and NH. But, MItt just said "it isnt happening" with a big smile, and quickly wrote his concession speech.
