SpikedOnline: Myth of Latino voting block

The myth of the Latino voting bloc: Clinton, Obama and McCain are frantically courting Hispanics - but in an era of fluid, fly-by-night politics, blocs are unpredictable.
In many important states - most notably New Jersey, Florida, Obama’s home state of Illinois, and Texas - the Latino vote is a vital one to win. According to the New Democrat Network, a liberal think tank that focuses on Latino voters, they make up almost twice as much of the electorate as they did in 2000, up from 7.5million to 14million. By some estimates, one in three Americans will be Latino by 2040.

My comments: There's no Latino voting block. The term Latino is just a lame way for people who don't understand us to lump us together.
