Operation Gringo: Can the Republicans Sacrifice the Hispanic Vote and Win the White House?

That the Hispanic vote helped Obama to win electoral votes in such "gringo" territories as Nebraska

Hee, we just had a mayoral race in Omaha and the Republican campaigned on bigotry: a commercial narrated by breathless, frightened woman intoning, "Illeagal immigrants are taking your jobs... crowding you out of emergency rooms... overtaxing your police force... Hal Daub will fight illegal immigrants..."

The Democratic candidate kicked his ass. :D

That's really what the ad said? Wow...that's just...

I mean, usually the GOP candidate tries to disguise the outright bigotry with subtle, underlying imagery. That's about the most blatant I have heard an ad being.

What was his name? I kind of want to see if this ad is on youtube.

Hal Daub was responsible for the ad -- a former mayor of Omaha running for the office again as a Republican. Jim Suttle, the Dem, defeated him and is now the mayor elect.

I knew no evil of Hal Daub before that (he was before my time here), but even if I weren't a stone Democrat I wouldn't have voted for Daub after seeing that ad. It was absolutely disgusting.

Thanks!

Just looked at his ad and, yeah, he's a slimy scapegoater. Glad to hear he lost :o)

It was so fucking dumb, on top of everything else -- there are now more registered Democrats in Omaha than Republicans -- 100,000 odd to 87,000 apx. Yeah, we have illegal immigrants, but most of them have relatives who are naturalized and registered to vote.

Keep it up, clueless Republicans. Please just keep it up. :D

Ah, I see I wasn't quoting verbatim. I linked the vid below just to keep on the up and up.
