Big news that's not being discussed is Puerto Rico has voted for statehood.

Congress has to approve.

Latino and conservative.

Should be a no brainer for Republicans. 2 extra seats in the Senate most assuredly. They control the house so they can force Obama, who won 70% of the Latino vote to sign it. But then I wonder about Who will win the debate in the GOP?

The shrinking base of rural white voters, or the reasonable moderate wing, or what is left of it.

If Obummer is smart, he'll take the lead and force the Republican's hands while they're still worried about a tea party insurgency since so many of their crazies went down in flames tonight and they're upset at Obama winning a second term and are plotting to sabotage the American economy again.

If a Dem spearheads this, it's like Lincoln freeing the slaves. Guaranteed brand loyalty for a few election cycles until the state grows less conservative/religious.

I mean people forget it was a Republican president who freed the slaves and up until FDR, blacks voted Republican.
