Fuck Ohio for a second, has anyone heard about what happened with the Hispanic vote? Another border that usually exists that keeps the Hispanic vote around the country usually voting Democrat has fallen. In this election, Bush was able to gain a significant amount of Hispanic votes. And if the Democrats can't rely on a minority base, what exactly can they rely on? This could be key to deciphering the Ohio results if they remain constant.

Are there no urban areas in the state? I don't know much about Ohio, but nearly every urban center in America has a significant Hispanic population.
