'Re Tories I think your stretching a bit there. The country was tired and wanted a change. There was no credible opposition and then Blaire appeared. Then the country got tired and there was a credible opposition and it got voted in'.
Well they weren't exactly voted in as they didn't get a majority despite a shambolic campaign from Labour. I may have been stretching the point there but think it was 3 am or thereabouts so forgive me.
I stand by my point about the Republicans though - they won't get elected in future through the electoral colleges without engaging with the Hispanic vote - simple demographics. The likely engager will be Jeb Bush who is married to a Mexican woman or even more likely their son George P Bush who is being groomed. I heard a scurrilous but reliable anecdote today that that branch of the family is called the 'Brown Bushes' by Barbara Bush (George H's wife and Dubya's mother the family matriarch.) Sweet family !
