I don't get this why did Colorado Hispanics go more for McCain in '08 as a % than they did for Bush in '04?
I have no Idea why Hispanics actually got better for Mr. McCain than with Bush, but I do know that the reason why McCain did much worse there than Bush is because of the wicked swing with whites.
2004:
White (86%) 57% Bush, 42% Kerry
Latino (8%) 68% Kerry, 30% Bush
2008:
White (81%) 50% Obama, 48% McCain
Hispanic (13%) 61% Obama, 38% McCain
In Colorado, even though Hispanic vote is emphasized, white is still a big majority, so how republican the white vote is there is more important than how democratic the Hispanic vote is, for now.
