You Go Hunting Where The Ducks Are

McCain believe that the minority community holds the election in its hands, but do they really or is this just another waist of time. July alone, John McCain made three separate appearances before Hispanic groups, including La Raza. He has also meet with the NAACP which its members will vote for Obama 94% to 1% with the 5% undecided. Hispanics are 14.5 percent of the U.S. population, but they will likely constitute only 7 percent to 8 percent of the electorate in 2008. Why? A vast share are illegal or recent immigrants who cannot vote. Hispanic citizens also register and vote in low percentages. Hispanic are concentrated in New York, Illinois and California, which are out of reach for McCain, and Texas, where McCain will win handily. In Florida 14 percent of the vote is Hispanic but most of it is anti-Castro Cubans. McCain has decided to court the hardest of hard-core Democrats, rather than the Democrats he can win. Hillary lost 90 percent of the black vote in April and May but routed Obama in Ohio and Pennsylvania by 10 points, and in Kentucky and West Virginia by 35 and 41. With almost no African-American votes, in states where the Hispanic vote is tiny, Hillary crushed the nominee of the Democratic Party who is McCain's opponent this fall. The Democrats who will decide the outcome in November are whites living in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Someone get ahold of McCain and tell him to start hunting where the ducks are.
