Midknight Review -- new and revised: With the primary victory of Ted Cruz, a conservative, an intellectual, a Hispanic, new attention is drawn to the GOP a the party of diversity.

It was as recently announced (this week), that Julian Castro, mayor of San Antonio, Texas, will be the keynote speaker at the Democrat National Convention.

This might come as a surprise to many, but the Democrats have just one Hispanic Senator (Robert Menendez – New Jersey) and one Hispanic member in the House, Xavier Becerra of L.A. They have no governors.

In the 2008 election, the Hispanic voting block represented 9% the 130 million Americans voting in that election. While Hispanics support Democrats 2 to 1 versus GOP competition, the GOP is much further down the road in terms getting Hispanics elected to office.

Compare the Democrat Hispanic short list (above) with the long list of nationally prominent Republican Latinos including Florida senator and potential Romney running mate Marco Rubio; Thomas Rivera Schatz (President of the Puerto Rico Senate); Republican Latino governors Susana Martinez of New Mexico and Brian Sandoval of Nevada; and Ted Cruz, a Latino Republican running for a Senate seat in Texas; Henry Bonilla (former U.S. Congressman from Texas); Anna Escobedo Cabral (former U.S. Treasurer); Mike Curb, former Lieutenant Governor of California and the list could go on and on.

Point of post: within the next 20/30 years, the GOP will lose its edge, nationally, because of its appeal to white voters unless it can continue to incorporate Hispanics and Blacks into its conservative base. Obviously, the GOP is well on its way to a new diversity.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
