ohio-gop1The Wall Street Journal has reported the Republican Party is making a conscious effort to have Hispanic nominees for this years Nov. elections as well as the 2012 presidential elections in an effort to attract the largest growing minority population in the country.

It is no secret the Republican Party has been criticized for not including the Hispanic voting bloc in their platform.

.In states such as Nevada and New Mexico, nominees have expressed strict immigration beliefs. The party hopes that Hispanics will vote for them because the ballot names seem familiar, not necessarily because of similar views on critical issues.



“There is a stereotype that Hispanics must be in favor of different policies than I am expressing, and that’s not what I’m finding at all,” said New Mexico Republican gubernatorial candidate Susana Martinez, who would be the country’s first elected female Hispanic governor.



Leading Hispanic Republicans on the ballot in Nov. is Florida’s U.S. Senate hopeful Marco Rubio, Nevada gubernatorial candidate Brian Sandoval, and Martinez. Hispanic There is Republican House candidates in Florida, Texas and Washington with conservative views and is in contention for seats as well.

The sudden change of approach is off the crest of the Republican national chairman stating there were racist beliefs within the party (the chairman is African-American).

In 2008, Barack Obama received almost 70 percent of the Hispanic vote

“Hispanics around the country were completely turned off by the immigration debate in 2006,” said Whit Ayers, who is Rubio’s campaign pollster. “But having Hispanic candidates be successful on the Republican ticket and visible nationally will go a long way toward rectifying that damage.”

so basically the GOP expects the Hispanic voting population to be stupid and vote for people just because of their names? what racists

Re: GOP will have Hispanics for November Election
 

actually i do believe the stupid voting public are dumb enough to fall for that -_-

Re: GOP will have Hispanics for November Election
 

I agree also. Same happens with voting with political lines. Half the people who vote someone to be may or representative may not vote on the persons merits, just on their relationship to the polotical. Obama didnt recive black votes based solely on his merits, his skin did play a huge factor. Voting based on race or name makes perfect sense.

The GOP 2012 project

George Prescott Bush.

GOPers would vote for him because he's a Bush, and to prove they are not racists.
Hispanics would vote for him because he's Hispanic.
