"General Selectric" has a nicer ring to it than "IBM Selectric." Although "Pacific Gas and Selectric" ain't bad either. No intent to connect you with GE ... "General Selectric" just rolls off the keyboard nice and easy.

Actually, if you throw out the Cuban-Americans living in Miami (who voted for Bush 79% mainly because of the Elian Gonzalez backlash), the Hispanic population is decidedly Democratic 70-30 and shows no signs whatsoever of shifting more to the Republican side. In fact, I ran across an interesting article today (from an L.A. publication) pointing out that the Hispanic population actually may be more "liberal" than the African-American population, as a whole.

Bush garnered only 8 percent of the black vote in November '00. The only presidential candidate ever to do worse was Goldwater in '64 with 4 percent.

In view of that, I'd be interested to have some details of these so-called trends you're following, which indicate that more Jewish voters, blacks and Hispanics are turning Republican. I just don't see it, but maybe you're right and I'm wrong.
