re: "It's hard to imagine those numbers going any higher on election day."

You should take a lesson from Joe, clo. The author of your article is so caught up in his politics that he can't distinguish between truth and hopefulness.

He says he can't imagine Romney's numbers with Hispanics going any higher. Oh, really? What if Romney selects a Hispanic running mate? What if the Trayvon Martin / George Zimmerman trial flares up again and is widely interpreted as a major attack by liberals against a visibly Hispanic male?

I don't know if either of these things will happen, but using about a hundredth of my imagination and 10 seconds of my time, I came up with two things that will almost certainly increase Romney's popularity with Hispanics.

There's something seriously wrong with your author that he can't do the same.

And with you, for posting such a ridiculous piece.

Were you a cheerleader in High School? Somehow, I'm getting the impression you were.

Obama close to maxing out Hispanic support

By BYRON TAU |
5/8/12 4:09 PM EDT

President Obama is drawing heavy support from the Hispanic community according to two recent polls showing the president with more than a 50 point over likely Republican opponent Mitt Romney.

The latest Investor's Business Daily/Christian Science Monitor/TIPP poll has Obama leading Romney among Hispanic voters by a 68 point margin, beating the former Massachusetts governor 80 percent to 12 percent. A second PPP poll, commissioned by the liberal blog Daily Kos and the SEIU union, shows Obama beating Romney 72 percent to 22 percent — a 50 point margin. 

It's hard to imagine those numbers going any higher on election day. Obama bested John McCain 67 percent to 31 percent among Latinos in 2008 — and, if these polls are accurate, he is poised to capture a larger share of the Hispanic vote than in 2008. The fight to woo Latino voters is part of a deliberate strategy by the Obama campaign which has launched two Spanish-language ad buys in key states — recognizing that the changing demographics in key states like Florida, Colorado and Arizona.

Republicans have reluctantly acknowledged that the party has some image-building to do in the wake of a bruising party primary that saw Republican candidates double down on anti-illegal immigration rhetoric.

"What we've seen is some Hispanics feel [that] the Republican Party isn't doing enough to include them in what we're doing, to reach out to them," Bettina Inclan, RNC's Hispanic outreach director, said on a conference call Tuesday. "What we're trying to do is rebuild that relationship."
