		<description><![CDATA[To win Romney will need 35% or more of Hispanics - He doesn&#039;t need 40% or even 50%, but of course that would be good. If Hispanics were in none swing states, it wouldn&#039;t matter electorally but unfortunately, they could be decisive in NV, NM, FL, CO and even in VA if its a close election!

If 64% of Americans think its the right thing to not deport kids who only know America as there home, its potentially not just a Hispanic issue - its more a humanitarian issue.

I hear a lot of folks here say the kids should not jump the queue or be given preferential treatmeant over those waiting to come to the US. My question to them is what exactly do you mean by get to the back of line. I&#039;m currently aware of a line for anyone outside the US to come to the US except via F1, B1 or H1B or DV which all these kids would be unable to qualify for. 

Is this the line folks are talking about? So basically we&#039;re telling them to move back to a country they know nothing about and rot because of their parents actions? To White, Black, Asian Americans, this sounds cruel and not a way to win an election.

I suspect Rubio, Romney would also agree with my point of view and Romney will make a complete turn around on his stand in immigration to a more rational/human one. It might hurt him with conservatives but not badly enough to cost him the election!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Only 3 tossup states will be influenced by the Hispanic vote:  Nevada, Colorado, and Florida.  And Florida is a separate case, with its Hispanic vote being Cuban-Americans.  So, worse case scenario is that this costs Romney Nevada and Colorado.  At the same time, it benefits Romney in Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa, North Carolina, and Virginia with white working class voters.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You overestimate any potential positives Obama may derive from this terrible policy. Look at it this way:

The announcement was designed to rev up Hispanic voters under the age of 30. This demographic of voter is historically unreliable save 2008, when youth voters were uncharacteristically revved up to GOTV. This time around, they are looking at jobs thanks to Obama...including Hispanics.

On the other hand, Obama is bleeding White voters in states he desperately needs in 2012...IN, NC, VA, OH, IA, WI, FL...he is either even or losing those states...and those states have large amounts of reliable voters who strongly disagree with what Obama is doing. This is why his Dem colleagues in congress are running for cover after last Friday.

Obama will get buried...mark my words. In the meantime, enough with the hand-wringing. The other side is justifiably cringing about Obama&#039;s chances. Let&#039;s not jump off the bridge when we&#039;re so close to burying this guy in the fall election.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Show no BUMP for Obama Griffin and both had the THREE DAYS rolling from the announcement on Friday.  This earth moving moment you are SO AFRAID OF!!!  It would have worked in the polls by now!! In fact, Ras has Romney gaining a point!! 48/44 over Obama!  Bloomberg released a poll shoing 64 percent support the move however in their poll...THEY PROVIDED not ONE BIT and party affliation, how the question was asked and any follow up as it relates to the economy.  Pretty sad and useless poll!!  It is already being panned!

Like I said...NOTHING moves the polls except JOBS and the ECONOMY!!  because these two effect your ability to pay, survive and provide.  Obama&#039;s Economy is what will do him in.  This announcement will fade....Job Numbers, Growth, Money and Income will keep coming out weekly and monthly!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love when I hear this garbage all the time....I love the way Griffing took what George Will said on the weekend about the percentage of Hispanic Vote that Romney would need then acts like he is giving some insightful number.  No Griffin...EVERY ELECTION is decided by the ECONOMY!!!  Bush had a good economy in 2004 NOT THE HISPANIC VOTE....They voted for him because the ECONOMY was in good shape.  He did nothing in 2004 for IMMIGRATION!!  In 2008 the Economy was TANKING and the Voters took it out on and blamed BUSH....Guess what the HISPANICS voted for the NON-INCUMBENT PARTY...and McCain not only represented the INCUMBENT....he was a TERRIBLE candidate

We do not need to write laws just to have them broken for a FEEL GOOD moment.  What Obama did moron was add another 800,000 to 1,000,000 new job searchers.  What he did was just add more stress to an ECONOMY that cannot handle this.  So for every alleged Hispanic in your world that is jumping up and down with POM POMS there are others in the Rust Belt, which OBAMA MUST WIN, that are extremely unhappy.  It will do NOTHING for Obama in Florida, Texas, New Mexico or Nevada.  Crip Nevada has the HIGHEST Unemployment rate now....boy this will help!!

Sorry buddy you fell for the trap and went head first!!  Legal Immigrants are not happy with this either.  Your fear is based on all these Hispanics will just run out and vote for Obama.  Sorry but it the the JOBS, JOBS, JOBS and ECONOMY that will matter in this election. Not pandering like you want to Illegals that deserve nothing but to wait their turn in line as the LAW states.  The parents knew they violated the law and I am sorry but their kids are not US Citizens, they broke the law and I get sick of this narrative oh well the kids should not have to pay!! Sorry rewarding illegal activity should NEVER be rewarded or you encourage more!

No Romney and the GOP needs to stay focused on Jobs and the Economy not in a cheap political ploy for a group that will vote for Obama anyway and then wonder why they have higher unemployment numbers than anyone else...DUH!!

Kennedy moment...you must be kidding.  That was no Kennedy moment....it was laughable....Whoopee 90 percent Hispanics support the move...NOW GO GET THAT JOB...oh that is right.....kids 18-30 already have umemployment over 25 percent!!  Yeah Griffin that will make them run to the polls to support Obama!]]></description>
