I saw a poll yesterday which showed the Republican party now has a favorability rating among Hispanics of 3%, that's right.. three percent. This is a sharp decrease and is undoubtedly due to the Republicans unreasonable opposition to Sotomayor.

I mean opposing her is one thing, but consistently referring to her as a racist is something else again. Hispanics make up a sizable chunk of the electorate in several key states and you can be sure the treatment of Sotomayor won't be forgotten.
