First Read: In the new MSNBC/Telemundo poll, which contained a Latino oversample, Democrats enjoy a 31-point advantage in party ID among Latinos, 47%-16%, with 36% identifying themselves as independents. Thats compared with Democrats having 7-point advantage among all voters in the poll. But get this: Political ideology among Latinos is almost identical to all voters In other words, there are plenty of conservative Latinos. Theyre just not willing to identify themselves as Republicans.

or a white guy with a Latina wife.

They have to be willing to go out and shoot unarmed black kids to death to really get the RW stamp of approval.
