Adios, Amigos

The GOP jacks with the Hispanics. Gracias, idiotas. Keep it up! Miami Herald (08.30.07), via Kos:

"Univisión planned to air the first presidential debates in Spanish on Sept. 9 and 16, one for Democrats, the other for Republicans, trumpeting a national coming-out party for Hispanic voters.

Except Republican candidates aren't coming. Only Ariz. Sen. John McCain agreed to participate in the event at the University of Miami.

GOP no-shows prompt cancellation of debate

"'That date is off the table,' university spokeswoman Bárbara Gutiérrez said Wednesday."

As Kos notes, "(A)s Rove has always known, the Latino vote growing in size and influence, and if it becomes a reliable Democratic constituency (like African American and Jewish voters), the GOP is screwed for generations."
