SCRAMBLE THE NATIVISTS FOR COUNTERATTACK:
Hispanic men moved to Bush (Stephen Dinan, 12/22/04, THE WASHINGTON TIMES)
President Bush's jump in support from Hispanic voters this election from 2000 was almost entirely among Hispanic men, nearly half of whom voted for him this year, according to a study released yesterday.The new numbers from the National Annenberg Election Survey also continue to fuel the debate over exactly how much of the Hispanic vote Mr. Bush did win last month.
A series of exit polls have shown that support ranging anywhere from 34 percent to 44 percent. But the Annenberg poll, taken in the eight weeks before the election and the two weeks afterward, found Mr. Bush garnering 41 percent support, including 46 percent support among Hispanic men and 36 percent support among Hispanic women.
The Tancredists can't let that one stand.

Are these the same exit polls that predicted a Kerry landslide?

Posted by: oj at December 22, 2004 4:26 PMThe Tancredists demand that a voter for whatever candidate be a legally-enfranchised voter. And, that's a perfectly legitimate demand.
