Nothing will change anytime soon Evil Chris..... The hispanic vote will be more important in the future - they are the largest minority as it is in the US passing up blacks the past year. Their numbers are growing faster and faster....

Not only that, but Hispanics are gearing to actually turn out and vote more. In local elections Hispanics have done very well as the Hispanic voters are getting out in force.
This is what is funny about the black vote and the yourh vote. Here are people who could make a difference but choose to not vote at all. This is why politicians etc. listen to the bluehairs and religious right, they VOTE.
Too often people in this country forget that politicians don't represent the people, they represent the VOTERS.
I've had this conversation many times with the canvassers trying to get marijuanna legalized. They all scream for legalization, but none of them get out and vote themselves. Yet, the Mormons (we have a lot of them in Nevada, especially Las Vegas) get out and vote and are able to trounce they type of things.
