NBC/WSJ/Telemundo poll: It's not just that Obama leads Romney by 44 points among Hispanics...

...it's that Romney has only 23 percent support.

Poll: Obama Maintains His Massive Lead Among Latinos

President Barack Obama continues to lead big among Latino voters, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll released Wednesday.

The poll — based on an oversample from Tuesday night’s NBC/WSJ survey — shows Obama earning the support of 67 percent of Latino voters nationwide, easily trumping Mitt Romney, who earns the support of just 23 percent.

Obama has consistently outpolled Romney among the burgeoning voting bloc, and the president’s standing among Latinos only grew stronger after his directive last month to suspend the deportation of some young illegal immigrants.

Rubio was supported by the teabaggers, so he can't take a contrary position to theirs. It's like asking how much the race would change if Rmoney chose Alan Keyes. Do you think black folks would line up to vote for that ticket?

(I think) that there are 1-2million, unregistered but eligible to vote, Latinos in Florida alone.

The GOTV will have to get it into high gear soon if they aren't already.

No AA vote. No Latino vote. I really believe Independents are getting more leery and weary of his shenanigans.

Voter suppression, shutting down polls early and other crazy stuff, GOP voting machines flipping/losing D votes.

We must be xtra vigilant - they will try to steal what they can not fairly win.

That is the demographic that we should be most concerned with.
