Don't Overestimate the Swing

The 'swing' to the GOP was BIG front page news in the LA Times today, but that articles missed exactly this point. Yes, several 'red' states picked up seats in the latest census, but in almost every case, the largest driver of growth has been the growth of the Hispanic population in those states. And just whose Cheerio...s have the Repugs been pissing in constantly these last last several months? Long term fail for the Repugs.

Dream Act Withers

I'm saddened the DREAM Act didnt pass, but it may good tactically. All the Spanish language media covered it intently, and maybe this, finally, will be the switch that turns on the light in the Hispanic community that the Repugs really REALLY don't like brown people, no matter what they say.
