Hmm random thought just now, do people in Costa Rica, American Samoa, Guam etc also vote for US president?
I know they had to give out delegates during the republican primary, I'm sure they can vote for the president too.

Hispanics are actually not that left-leaning in most categories.
It's just that the immigration policy of the Republicans turns them off so much that they end up voting overwhelmingly Democrat.
Just have a sensible immigration reform policy and Hispanics will be willing to listen to the Republicans on other things.

But if only the electoral college matters, then their votes don't really count...? Right?

In a perfect world, after his thank yous and yes we cans and I love my wife and so on, I want him to say something like, "the popular vote has demonstrated that there are many people who are dissatisfied with America, and with me. Though we do not see eye to eye [with those people], I know we all want a better America. We all want the same thing. I will be the man that will help America get back on its feet, I will help all people, because whether or not you supported me, we are all brothers here."
Or something like that...
I'm sorry... weird tangent.
What the heck do you expect and the popular vote? Come on man. Not the first time we've seen it like this.

Socially conservative, very catholic. However, republicans usually don't try to cater to race, and let the democrats walk over them and label them as racists for trying to put a dent into illegal immigration and voter ID laws.

immigration is a very important topic, even more than economics. Immigration for us (im hispanic) is about treating us as part of society. Republicans are too conservative about immigration and this causes hispanics to vote democratic.

Not sure, I just vividly remember laughing as the American Somoa representative spoke in a very island'y tongue and looked like a sumo wrestler as he gave out his countries delegates to Romney.

Oh, man, I sincerely hope that when my generation is 50+ years old we start demanding buffs and nerfs from congress.
The political news will read like patch notes:
Removed bug allowing offshore tax havens
Reduced unemployment benefits

Socially conservative, yes (kind of in the center of Democrats and Republicans atm though). Illegal immigration? Obviously not. Other domestic policy? My hunch is they're more left-leaning but I don't have numbers to back it up.
