Demonizing the NVGonzalezes will lose you the west.

Like BRTD said, maybe not in his specific case, but social conservatism has a chance of working with Hispanics. The whole birth control issue isn't going to help Republicans since the only catholics willing to change their vote from Democrat to Republican would be Hispanic, and I doubt they will vote Republican due to other reasons. White, very religious social conservative catholics have basically all become Republican anyways.
