On NPR yesterday they shared a fascinating little data point. It turns out there are as many Hispanic children under of the age of 10 in the United States as there are Anglo children. Add to that the fact that Hispanics vote 3-1 Democratic and it's not hard to do the math that the Republican party needs to evolve or evaporate. Signs that say "Compassion" at their convention hall won't get the job done. Their platform will have to embrace real diversity and real pluarlism if it is to be relevant to the voting populace in the decades ahead.
