The potential clout of Latino voters has become as familiar a story line as the gender gap. But what might make 2012 different is the edge Latinos could give President Barack Obama and the Democrats in battleground states which aren’t thought of as immigration portals or left-leaning strongholds.

The 2010 Census revealed that in the past decade the adult Latino population has nearly doubled in Nevada, Virginia, and North Carolina. Also, it's increased by 60 percent or more in two Midwestern battleground states, Indiana and Ohio.

Obama won all five of those states in 2008 — two of them by very narrow margins — and they are likely to be decisive in next year’s balloting.

“What the Census figures suggest is that the road to White House in 2012 may well go through the Hispanic communityâ€

slow down msnbc! How many of those latinos are here illegally? They are not citizens, they can't vote.

MARK MY WORDS AND LISTEN CAREFULLY

The latinos have proven over and over that they feel they are special
They also want the power , they have one goal in mind , NO LESS THAN THE TAKEOVER OF THIS COUNTRY

Did you get that part ?

More and more anchor babies are becoming eligible to vote , they will vote , they will elect more and more hispanic politicians that will back their cause

We read stories every day about "their people" their communities" "their raza"

They are not part of the concept of the melting pot of this country , they reject it , they refuse it , they spit on it

And unless you want to be under the hispanic boot you better wake up and soon.

thats exactly right. (Mod Edit/rule violation/RB) What is happening is crazy suicide.

Before we get there will demands to push for an American Canada

illegals need to go home through sheer attrition, no more jobs and benefits and deportation. As simple as that.
Also we need to impose that the FCC will not renew licenses to those spanish language TVs and radio unless there is actual programs that promote assimilation and the English language. THE IS ACTUALLY KEY.
Did you know that the FCC actually did the opposite and demanded that when Comcast and NBC merged that Hispanics culture/language etc was to be promoted more!!!!! Can you believe that?

There may be 50 million Hispanics in the USA but only about a 3rd. are citizens who can vote and not all of them vote for Democrats .

They keep puffing up their importance in Politics but that is not the reality. They are trying to scare Republicans to get what they want Open Borders !!

The writer of this article is a buffon. He completely ignores those latinos who are vehemently against illegal immigration! We are the ones who obeyed the laws, came legally and paid through the nose in both time and $$$. There is NO way we condone rewarding those who violated the laws, bypassed the line completely and continue their criminal ways!

This article offends me greatly, it furthers the agenda that all latinos think, act and vote alike. Nothing can be further from the truth.

The Latino Vote in the 2010 Elections

Updated December 30, 2010

Tuesday's midterm elections were historic for Hispanics. For the first time ever, three Latino candidates—all of them Republicans—won top statewide offices.

In New Mexico, voters elected the nation's first Latina governor, Republican Susana Martinez.

In Nevada, Republican Brian Sandoval won the governor's race and became Nevada's first Hispanic governor.

And in Florida, Republican Marco Rubio won the U.S. Senate race.

Despite these big top-of-the-ticket wins for Republican Hispanic candidates, Democratic candidates won the Latino vote, often by wide margins.

The article also neglects those citizen voters that vote for anti-illegal candidates. These past elections that put Republicans into state offices were proof.
