Why is Romney going after Hispancis now? Another bonehead move?

Just when he's getting crushed in the polls, he goes after a group that will largely vote against him. Or am I missing something?

Does he subconsciously want to lose? Deep down, as they say, has he wanted to lose all along?

As though a man losing a marathon takes time out watch his favorite running show on television.

That would be the last straw for his credibility. IMHO.

...which is still predominately Cuban...especially in South Florida. This group used to be heavily rushpublican but the younger generations are getting away from that. If Bishop Willard is to stand a chance in Florida, he needs these people to come out big time.
