Anyone with a pulse realizes that Hispanics are the fastest-growing voting bloc in American politics. I think that the GOP does have a shot at garnering strong support based on  social and economic issues. Those Hispanics who legally vote are likely to be interested seeing that their hard work gets rewarded, and embrace family values, for example. In California, where I live, there is an ongoing explosion of entrepreneurial activity. And the extraordinarily proud record of Mexican-Americans in the United States Military speaks volumes about values.

To my regret, the Republicans so far do not seem to have much wit in figuring out how to appeal to Hispanics.
