133. If you remember, it was Hillary who was the rock star among Latinos in 2008.

Hispanics voted for Sen. Hillary Clinton over Sen. Barack Obama by a margin of nearly two-to-one in the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, according to an analysis by the Pew Hispanic Center of exit polls taken throughout the primary season. The Center’s analysis also finds a sharp increase in Latino electoral participation in 2008, with their share of the Democratic primary vote rising in 16 of the 19 states for which exit polling makes it possible to compare 2008 and 2004 turnout shares.

Latino voters were especially important to Clinton in the mega-states California and Texas, where their share of the primary vote rose dramatically between 2004 and 2008. In California, Latino voters comprised 30% of the turnout (up from 16% in 2004) and in Texas, Latino voters comprised 32% of the turnout (up from 24% in 2004). Clinton would have lost both states were it not for the strong support she received from Latinos.






Barack Obama received 71% of the Latino vote in 2012:

Hillary can reach those numbers.


Chasing white working class male voters is a quixotic mission... They have shown no inclination they want to be part of a coalition that includes many African Americans, Latinos, Asians, glbtq persons, women, and college educated whites.

And in any case the white male who hasn't attended college is a dying demographic that is going the way of the dinosaur.
