After all, not only did Hispanics make up eight percent of the total vote on Tuesday, but 73 percent of Hispanics voted democrat while 26 percent voted republican, according to CNN exit polls.

In 2004, Hispanics still made up about eight percent of the total vote, but only 55 percent voted democrat while 42 percent voted republican.

This is an 18 percent increase in democrat votes in two years, most likely fueled by the anti-illegal immigrant hysteria that swept across the country as well as DU earlier this year.

And remember that article that stated that this was the biggest turnout for young voters in 20 years?

I'm willing to bet that it was Hispanics who contributed to that increase. Yes, the ones who were born in this country to immigrant parents. The ones who took it rather personal that their family members were going to be turned into felons because of their immigration status.

Mi amigos, this is what I call political capital. Let's not blow it.
