One thing I am certain is Republicans can debate rebuilding their party by embracing its conservative roots or broaden its appeal to an inclusive tent until the cows come home, but the debate is futile.

Without Hispanics, the Republican Party will come to an end and nothing the Republican Party does will bring back Hispanics.

Population is the Prime Factor for the Electoral College and Hispanics are the Population

The United States elects the President of the United States using the Electoral College which consists of the popularly elected representatives who formally select the President and Vice President of the United States.

Each state has a number of electors equal to the number of its Senators and Representatives determined by population in the United States Congress.

Each elector casts one vote for President and one vote for Vice President. In order to be elected, a candidate must have a majority being 270 electoral votes cast for that office.

According to Mike Murphy of Time magazine, demographic change is irritating to politicos, since it works on elections much as rigged dice do on a Las Vegas craps table: it is a game changer. For years, Republicans won elections because the country was chock-full of white middle-class voters who mostly pulled the GOP lever on Election Day. Today, however, that formula is no longer enough.

It was a huge shock to the GOP when Barack Obama won Republican Indiana last year. The bigger news was how he did it. Hispanic voters delivered the state. Exit polls showed they provided Obama with a margin of more than 58,000 votes in a state he carried by a slim 26,000 votes. That's right, GOP, you've entered a brave new world ruled by Hispanic Hoosiers, and you're losing.

In 1980, Hispanic voters cast about 2% of all votes. Last year it was 9%, and Obama won that Hispanic vote with a crushing 35-point margin. By 2030, the Hispanic share of the vote will double. In Texas, the crucial buckle for the GOP's Electoral College belt, the No. 1 name for new male babies — many of whom will vote one day — is Jose. Young voters are another huge GOP problem. Obama won voters under 30 by a record 33 points. And the young voters of today, while certainly capable of changing their minds, all become tomorrow's voters.

Rather than face up to all this, too many Republicans are stuck in a swoon of nostalgia. Most of the Republican party leaders come from red blood Republican states or safe districts, so they are far more at home in the tribal politics of Republican primaries than in those of the country as a whole. You could say their radio dials are stuck on AM.

Ironically, it was the Republican choice in 2008 of AM conservative talk radio that was instrumental in the defeat of Republican McCain. For Hispanics, the Republican anti-Hispanic sentiment was instrumental turning out the Hispanic vote giving Obama victory in Nevada (5), Colorado (9), New Mexico (5), and California (55) for a total of 74 electoral votes. McCain carried Arizona (10) as the favorite son receiving 1,012,878 votes (54%) and Obama 851,589 votes (45%).

Had McCain not been a favorite son, it is probable Obama may have picked up Arizona considering the polls leading up to November 4 indicated Obama was becoming competitive with McCain.

In 2012, the probability Obama will carry Arizona is high giving Obama a total of 84 votes in the 5 state New West region.

In, Texas, McCain received 4,467,748 votes (55.5%) and Obama 3,521,164 votes (43.8%). In the foreseeable future, Texas will be added to the New West region adding its 34 electoral votes to the 84 providing for a total of 118 electoral votes in the New West region which will then have 44% of the total electoral votes cast in the United States. This is raw unabridged power. Hard to believe coming from "brown faces" found in every part of the United States.

On February 1, 2008, California Hispanics were about 40 percent of the state's population. On July 2, 2008, Hispanics were 14 percent of California voters and 61 percent are Democrats to account for about 20 percent of the Democratic vote on Tuesday providing 61% (6,219,123 voters) for Obama and 37% (3,777,314 voters) for McCain.

On July 1, 2007, Arizona Hispanics account for 1.9 million, or 29.7 percent, of Arizona's population of 6,338,755 of whom 2,987,451 are registered voters. 673,000 are eligible Hispanic voters in Arizona.

There was always a hidden agenda for McCain and Kyl. Being designated "sponsor" implies one who supports a legislative bill but Jon Kyl changed the definition of sponsor to author the legislation to accomplish Kyl's legislative intent which was to write a punitive bill that would be the vehicle for deporting 12 million undocumented Hispanics back to Mexico.

Kyl was able to change the intent of what Senator Kennedy was trying to accomplish to provide changes to immigration to provide a pathway to reasonable requirements providing an opportunity for undocumented Hispanics to live and work in the United States without fear of reprisals and protected by the U.S. Constitution.

On June 5, 2007, Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) said, "This is one of the most contentious, complex, emotional issues of our time and no one is going to get 100% of what they want." Kyl spoke about Arizona Republican constituents who told him they trust him but don't like his bill. "The situation in the United States, and particularly in my state, is getting worse every day. You simply cannot afford to ignore the problem. You realize you're going to have to get in there, fight like heck to get the situation resolved."

Another euphuism for deport the undocumented. In Kyl's 2006 Arizona re-election campaign, Kyl is surrounded by Arizona's sheriffs  stating, "Arizona sheriffs oppose amnesty." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHKo-16-fKI
