HuffPost : The share of the Latino vote increased in Nevada (up 4 percent), Florida (up 3 percent) and Colorado (up 1 percent). Increased turnout and increased support for Obama among Latinos exceeded the margin of victory for the president in these three swing states

.

Mitt was buried by Women, Blacks and Latinos in the graveyard of History. He will be a Footnote in History Books. Here is the Arithmetic :

From Huffington Post :

"The Latino vote, which increased as a share of the electorate (from 9 percent in 2008 to 10 percent in 2012) and broke even stronger for Obama than in 2008 (from 67-31 in 2008 to 71-27 in 2012, according to CNN exit polling)."

My Comment :

There is something more Important than storm Sandy, more important than Mitt Romney's 47% Stupidity in Boca Raton Florida before the Millionaires of the Fundraiser. More important than the TV Debates.

And that was Mitt Romney pandering to Racists and Haters during the Republican Primaries. Let's do some Arithmetic :

Obama had a 58,720,700 (50.1%) to 56,145,950 (48.4%) lead on Mitt Romney for the popular vote.

58.7 plus 56.1 is a total of 114.8 million votes plus a tail.

so the 10% is 11.48 million Latino votes ( roughly ! ).

and the 71% of that number is 8 million votes ( approximately ) that voted against Mitt.

8 million Latino Votes for Obama and less than 3 million for Romney from Latinos.

So Mitt was buried by 5 million net Latino votes that he could not make up with a Shrinking White Electorate. This is his Harvest of Racism !

How the GOP’s War on Voting Backfired

Excerpt :

Racial minorities made up 28 percent of the electorate in 2012, up from 26 percent in 2008, and voted 80 percent for Obama. “Romney matched the best performance among white voters ever for a Republican challenger—and yet he lost decisively in the Electoral College,” wrote Ron Brownstein of National Journal. Minorities also accounted for 45 percent of Obama’s total vote.

That means that in the not-so-distant-future, a Democrat will be able to win the presidency without needing a majority of white votes in his or her own coalition. In a country with growing diversity, if one party is committed to expanding the right to vote and the other party is committed to restricting the right to vote, it’s not hard to figure out which one will ultimately be more successful.
