20. "because Bush and Hispanics went together at the hip"

No. Re-think please. Dubya represented the high water mark of Republican outreach to Hispanics because he's from Texas, he speaks okay (but accented) Spanish & throws Mexican idioms into his ventures into non-English discourse, and down here most Republicans know Latinos (at least the rich ones) and are comfortable with them.

Still, he only got 35% of the Hispanic vote in 2000 and 40% in 2004. That's not "joined at the hip". That's still losing the Hispanic vote.
