Yeah, and there's NOOOOO racial or ethnic tension in Los Angeles.....

Ok... can I post an old video of the Berlin Wall to show how divided Germany is then?

But honestly, what's your guys' obsession with racial division? It seems you don't want it to be otherwise. Because if there were racial unity, well, Republicans would be fucked.

From yesterdays L.A. Times:

 Quote:
Latino voters could provide the margin of victory for Obama in Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico -- states that went for President Bush in 2004 and that account for 19 electoral votes. If either candidate sweeps the big states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, he could win without these Western states. But if the bigger states are split, each candidate would probably need the Western states for an electoral college victory.

The importance of those states was underscored Saturday, when the McCain and Obama campaigns made stops in New Mexico and Nevada.

The William C. Velasquez Institute, a nonpartisan public policy center in Los Angeles, analyzed polling data from the three Western states and Florida. It found that Latino voters provided no advantage to either side in Florida despite long-standing support for the Republican Party by Cuban Americans.

In the Western states, the Latino vote is growing in size and as a percentage of the total, and it is favoring the Democratic Party more than in previous years.

Latinos make up 32.4% of registered voters in New Mexico, 11.4% in Nevada and 9.9% in Colorado. The institute examined data from eight polling firms and found that Obama's lead over McCain in Nevada would be 42.4% to 40.7% without Latino voters -- a difference that's within the margin of error. Include Latino voters, however, and Obama's lead grows to 50%, versus 43% for McCain.

That only tells part of the story, according to Antonio Gonzalez, president of the institute. In the last presidential election, 60% of Latinos in Nevada voted for Democratic candidate John F. Kerry and 40% for Bush. This time, polls show a 7- to 10-point increase for Obama.


So if people reject your desperate desire to divide and conquer along racial (as well as social and religious) lines, you guys are fucked.

Good. Republicans have divided this country for far too long already.
