6. More good news about the Hispanic vote
Despite concerted efforts by the GOP to slow things down, 3 million immigrants will have naturalized and will be eligible to vote since 2004's election and the overwhelming majority will vote Democratic in November. Plus, they're concentrated in key battleground states. Plus, the are usually undercounted in polls because they are suspicious of people phoning to ask them about their political opinions and often don't have the language skills to feel comfortable participating in a poll. And newer immigrants are often not picked up as likely voters because they have not voted before despite their strong interest in voting.

Overall, very good news for us.
