How to Lose an Election by Alienating Latinos
(Latinos for Obama)
By Miguel Perez
Back in August, when Republicans still were in denial about the depth of the hole they had dug for themselves in the Hispanic community during the GOP primaries, back when they thought that having Sen. Marco Rubio and a few other Latino surrogates defending their xenophobia would be enough to confuse Latino voters, this column made an easy prediction: “If President Barack Obama wins reelection, mark my words: Romney will be remembered as the candidate who wrote the book on how to lose an election by alienating Latino voters.”
Well, the book has been written!
