Unless the GOP make an honest attempt to connect with minority voters, they’ll never recover. It’s the simple truth. Republicans shy away from this reality, because they mistakenly believe they have to succumb to some “Acorn” or radical immigration groups to appeal to minorities. But you don’t have to sell out core conservative principles to attract their attention.
I feel there’s untapped voting base among older immigrants (especially Asians) who are reliably religious or conservatives but tend to stay in their own little cultural island. Most of them can’t speak English, and they rely on news source in their own language to catch up on American affairs. (Asian newspapers leech off information from liberal media) There was a slight uptick in voting activity among this group in CA as they voted for prop 8, though I suspect some of them voted for Obama.
Point here is – DO SOMETHING to attract minority voters. I’m actually confident the GOP will make some gain among whites, but that’s a moot point if 70-80% of minorites vote democrats. Send fliers or speakers to churches or minority establishments to communicate the GOP message. Help groom young minority candidates who can serve as intermediaries between his constituents and the GOP.
