On the Hispanic Vote and Obama
Pew Hispanic Center Releases a Report on the Hispanic Vote in the Presidential Election
Hispanics voted for Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden over Republicans John McCain and Sarah Palin by a margin of more than two-to-one in the 2008 presidential election, 66% versus 32%, according to a new report from the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center. The report finds that 8% of the electorate was Latino, unchanged from 2004.
Nationwide, the Latino vote was significantly more Democratic this year than in 2004, when President Bush captured an estimated 40% of the Hispanic vote, a modern high for a Republican presidential candidate.
Obama carried the Latino vote by sizeable margins in all states with large Latino populations. His biggest breakthrough came in Florida, where he won 57% of the Latino vote. President Bush carried 56% of the Latino vote in Florida in 2004.
Obama's margins were much larger in other states with big Latino populations. He carried 78% in New Jersey, 76% of the Latino vote in Nevada, 74% in California, and 73% in Colorado.
This report contains an analysis of exit poll results for the Latino vote nationally and in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico and Texas.
The report is available on the center's website at www.pewhispanic.org.

Felicidades to Obama and Fortuño
Puerto Rico Sun congratulates Barack Obama, the president-elect of the United States.
As a boricua, it is amazing and inspiring to see that the first African-American has been elected to serve this country. I am happy I was able to witness this historical moment.
Yes we can!
Congratulations to Resident Commissioner Luis Fortuño, the governor-elect of Puerto Rico too. Fortuño of the pro-statehood New Progressive Party defeated incumbent Governor Anibal Acevedo Vila of the pro-commonwealth Popular Democratic Party.
Both Obama and Fortuño ran with a message for change.
Hopefully, they both will bring real positive change. I am optimistic.
We will be watching you. -- Clarisel Gonzalez

Politics
Exclusive Public Opinion Survey
It’s the economy, “¿estúpido”?
"It’s the economy, stupid," was a phrase in American politics widely used during the 1992 presidential campaign. Apparently it has been adopted by the residents of Puerto Rico. The economy seems to have become the major concern for Puerto Ricans for the current year. An October 2008 telephone poll of residents of the island showed that 61% of respondents, 6 out of every ten consider the economy the biggest problem facing Puerto Rico today. Crime and Drugs was ranked the second issue in importance, picked by 16% of those polled.
