Actually, instead of thanking Republicans, if Hillary Clinton wins Texas tonight, she may say “muchas gracias” to Hispanics in Texas who didn’t bother to respond to pollsters who asked questions in English.
Erick Erickson notes:
A friend of mine who is a very reputable pollster tells me that in California the major media polling firms did not do any Spanish language polling. He also said that in Texas, despite the lessons they should have learned in California, the media is again not doing serious spanish language polling. With the Latino vote around 30% of the primary, Hillary could have a bigger polling advantage that we’ve seen, which is probably why Obama is setting the bar higher than “win” to “win with double digit lead.”
The final four polls in California had Obama by 13 (heck of a job, Zogby), Clinton by 10, Obama by 1, Obama by 1. In the actual voting results, Hillary won by 9.6 percent.
It will never happen, but it would be amusing to see Obama suddenly embracing English-only instruction in the aftermath of this primary.
