THE TIPPING POINT, Election of 2012

Michael Medved's recent article in the WSJ seems to show that Obama is almost invincible in the upcoming 2012 election due to overwhelming support from the black community and the growing Latino bloc.  Michael, as usual makes some good points, but one must always remember where he and those at the WSJ are coming from.  As I recall they do favor comprehensive immigration reform and I suspect his conclusions are colored by that.  The vast majority of American are opposed to what would be amnesty for millions in a comprehensive law, leaving border security to come somewhere down the road!  The Latino vote may sway the elections in a few states such as California, New Mexico and possibly several others, but with Obama's poll numbers dropping and the economic conditions being stagnate and perhaps even worsting, he will be hard pressed to win a majority of electoral votes in 2012.
