Increased turnout and increased support for Obama among Latinos exceeded the margin of victory for the president in these three swing states.<br /><br /><br /><br />Mitt was buried by Women, Blacks and Latinos in the graveyard of History. He will be a Footnote in History Books. Here is the Arithmetic :<br /><br /><br />From Huffington Post :<br /><br />"The Latino vote, which increased as a share of the electorate (from 9 percent in 2008 to 10 percent in 2012) and broke even stronger for Obama than in 2008 (from 67-31 in 2008 to 71-27 in 2012, according to CNN exit polling)."<br /><br /><br />My Comment :<br /><br />There is something more Important than storm Sandy, more important than Mitt Romney's 47% Stupidity in Boca Raton Florida before the Millionaires of the Fundraiser. More important than the TV Debates.<br /><br />And that was Mitt Romney pandering to Racists and Haters during the Republican Primaries. Let's do some Arithmetic :<br /><br />Obama had a 58,720,700 (50.1%) to 56,145,950 (48.4%) lead on Mitt Romney for the popular vote.<br /><br />58.7 plus 56.1 is a total of 114.8 million votes plus a tail.<br /><br />so the 10% is 11.48 million Latino votes ( roughly ! ).<br /><br /><br />and the 71% of that number is 8 million votes ( approximately ) that voted against Mitt.<br /><br />8 million Latino Votes for Obama and less than 3 million for Romney from Latinos.<br /><br />So Mitt was buried by 5 million net Latino votes that he could not make up with a Shrinking White Electorate. This is his Harvest of Racism !<br /><br /><br />*********************************<br /><br /><br />Huffington Post<br />How the GOP’s War on Voting Backfired<br />By Ari Berman<br />November 8, 2012<br /><br /><br />http://www.thenation.com/blog/171146/gops-failed-voter-suppression-strategy#<br /><br /><br />*********************************Defensores de Democraciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990488344886411353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-16287041600851411352012-11-08T12:08:05.212-06:002012-11-08T12:08:05.212-06:00Thank you for this post.
