Romney's comeback was Hispanics

   King, those numbers are fascinating.  I'd love to see a really detailed breakdown of the hispanic vote, by country of origin, how many generations in this country, marital status, religion etc..
   I heard somewhere that Hispanic protestants are much more Republican than Hispanic Catholics.  I wonder if this is because lots of nominal, but not church attending, Hispanics are Catholic, and Hispanic protestants are more active in their churches and take in a more conservative social ideology from that.  Or, is that a sign of greater assimilation into the US society.
    Also, I'd love to see a vote breakdown by residence.  The Hispanic, mostly Mexican descended kids who grew up in my area, suburban Sacramento, might very well lean Democratic, but many of them take on attributes, cultural patterns, aspirations and ideas similar to their white friends and neighbors.
    I'll be interested to see how the Hispanic vote goes on the statewide propositions this year in California.  Its starting to be prime time for the "coalition of the ascendent" to be churning out some electoral victories out here, so we'll see what happens.
