Election 1, Kaus 0
Obsidian Wings — ... The Latino vote is one of the biggest stories of the election. Kevin Drum notes that Obama’s general national swing was +9 from Kerry. The Latino vote, however, was +27. Anticipating this large swing the day before the election, Mickey Kaus (who has nothing much to say anymore other than to bash immigrants or unions) ...

It's the wing that isn't just a little skittish about gay marriage, but that turns homophobia into a virtual litmus test, losing 6 million young voters in ...
