One of the stunning stats from the exit polls of the presidential election involved the Latino vote. President Obama got 71 percent of the Hispanic vote, while Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was only able to snag 27 percent. As I’ve noted before, that’s quite a comedown for Republicans from the 44 percent President George W. Bush received when he was reelected in 2004.
At the Bipartisan Policy Center’s summit in New Orleans last week, Republican strategist Whit Ayres mentioned another statistic that snapped me to attention:
Every month for the next two decades, 50,000 Hispanics will turn 18.
