Arizona would be great for turning a red state blue, and as a statement since it's been at the front on over-zealous immigration laws. Latino voters are not a full block by any means, for many reasons, but the R's just can't seem to get it yet. A lot of the talk from Latino's on twitter last night was that Obama used "undocumented worker" and Romney repeatedly said "illegals". And unfortunately when people use illegal, even if it is technically often correct, it carries with it an attitude, and not only towards the person who is here without documentation, but towards all Latinos in America. There seemed to be a hardening of support for Obama. After O's appearance for the Latino station, he took a lot of heat. It was a disinterested and wishy-washy performance, but he seems to have regained his footing last night.

Indeed you did but frankly---I don't believe any of these polls---most of them are too close and can swing either way. Neither candidate seems to have firm/strong support of about 10%ish of those who say they favor him.... In the states where there's a substantial latino population, he may have a greater lead than they show....I think it's in a post here that I read that they are being undercounted in the likely voter column. Interesting point re: Ohio may already been won because of early voting..from you lips to_ insert favorite deity_ ears;)
