Hispanics as a key to Democratic success

(click the graphic and it gets bigger)
I'm not going to write about how the immigration debate has turned hispanics against the Republicans, because that is so common sense at this point.

But what I thought I would do, was to look to this NYTimes chart and point out the four swing states in the middle, Arizona Colorado, Nevada, and Florida.

If the Dems could register and turnout a small percent of that vote, those four states, and the voting majority, would swing Dem.

(Quite frankly, in Texas, it would be difficult at this point to overturn the Republican machine, but it would certainly result in a shift of a few congressional seats.)

This doesn't show the percentage eligible to register, but those are big numbers when you're talking about 20% of a state's population with 5% or less registered to vote.
