So, the Democrat's hopes are for Hispanics to turn out. The Republicans hope that these Hispanics become more white-washed.

When only Austin is allowed to vote...


In all seriousness the GOP approach to immigration may play a big role.  McCain may ease some of the problems the GOP is set to have with the Hispanic vote somewhat, however if the GOP as a whole continues its current immigration platform, the Hispanic vote will be even stronger for the Dems than it was in 06 & prior to the gains Bush had and perhaps make the state competitive by 2016 or so.  It still wouldn't be a Democratic state and would be GOP leaning, but a state the Dems could win with a 5 point or so national win by then.
