Hagan Trails Republican Challenger Among Hispanic Voters

http://news.yahoo.com/video/hagan-trails-republican-challenger-among-152207714.html

A new poll shows that incumbent Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan from North Carolina is struggling with Hispanics in the Tar Heel state. This comes as national Hispanic groups bash Hagan for her immigration vote. Hagan’s support among North Carolina Hispanics sits at 25 percent, compared to her Republican challenger state House Speaker Thom Tills, whose support is at 44 percent. The Libertarian candidate polls at one percent while 30 percent remain undecided. The new poll, released by Time Warner Cable News, surveyed 554 likely North Carolina voters and has 4.2 percent margin of error.

1. Wait, who shot themselves in the foot?

Hispanics for not voting for someone who voted against their interests/issue?

Or the Dem candidate once again expecting voters to ignore how they actually vote and what they support, and expecting various Democratic interest groups to vote for them just because the other guy is worse?

2. I am gratified to see that Hispanic voters are refusing to be taken for granted by the Democratic

Party. The party need to wake up to this.

3. "Gratified"? ...

Two words: "Moral Victory" or, maybe, "Pyrrhic Victory" ... You win the narrow point and lose on all other points.

4. I know it's late in the game; but ...

Hagan's team should be talking to these national Hispanic groups. It's not too late to turn it around ... and in fact, since people are more influenced by the last thing they hear/feel, one call from these organizations can/would flip those numbers, overnight.

5. Until we can inspect the secret black box vote "counters," we cannot be certain that our votes are

counted.

We must trust some Corporation with vested interests to truthfully and fully report accurate vote counts, and I don't trust these Corporations to do that.

And yet, we're 14 years beyond Bush v. Gore, but the DC DEMS haven't done SQUAT to Secure The Vote.

I wonder ... why???

6. Sounds to me like the candidate shot herself in the foot by betraying her voters

Expecting people to keep voting for you when you vote against then is both stupid and arrogant.
