I was readin in another thread about 2008 and one of the posters had a breakdown of how the Southwestern states are trending and made the argument that in the long term Texas could be Democratic leaning state mainly due to immigration from south of the border.

Any opinions?

Unfortunately, whites in Texas vote more solidly Republican than Hispanics vote Democratic (and they have horrible turnout to boot)

Interestingly enough in 2004 if I remember correctly,Hispanics in Texas voted for Bush by 56-44 margin.

Even that was a fluke unlikely to be repeated. Better to go off the 2000 numbers, where Bush got 43% of Hispanics and 71% of Whites.

Still 43% is a good margin among Republicans for a minority group.
