As an aside and something fairly strange. I get the feeling Hispanic voters have a... dont know quite how to put it...

"Why dont we get as much minority representation as Blacks."
There is some tension. The governor of New Mexico came out for Obama very early to try and smooth this over but it will not work imo.

Even if he chooses Richardson as his VP, which is what I am hoping for

In the Democratic primary here, Hispanics came out in very large numbers. More Hispanic females than I have ever witnessed. All Hillary. This large voting block does not come back to the polls for Obama.

Imo God is correct. The hanging with Iraq is the giant weight on McCain. That, and Obama will bring out more younger voters than ever before. I think this race easily brings over 60% of eligible voters. It might hit 70%. Thats a win for Obama.

Still way early.

sorry to belabor the point, but do you think the above is true even if Richardson is on the ticket?

I dont think Richardson brings Hispanics
to Obama to make any sort of difference.
I really dont.

The young voter turnout could make a huge difference.
Imo Obama could be purple and younger voters of all
ethnic groups vote purple.
