You say that Latinos were 4.3% of the 2004 vote, but according to the exit poll link from your site they were just 2%.  Please clarify how you arrived at the 2004 demographic breakdowns.  I have a lot of experience working in Wisconsin politics and can tell you that 127,000 latino votes seems almost inconceivable.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4257917002416684161/8331301015514176105/comments/default/2332415106953034850'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4257917002416684161/8331301015514176105/comments/default/2332415106953034850'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/05/quick-q-on-minority-turnout-model.html?showComment=1210642662604#c2332415106953034850' title=''/><author><name>pfsickel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/05/quick-q-on-minority-turnout-model.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257917002416684161.post-8331301015514176105' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4257917002416684161/posts/default/8331301015514176105' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257917002416684161.post-5280519132674294056</id><published>2008-05-12T16:25:56.699-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-12T16:25:56.699-04:00</updated><title type='text'>One issue you don't address is the Bradley effect ...</title><content type='html'>One issue you don't address is the Bradley effect --&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;how much will white vote that typically works in these models not vote for Obama in general because he is black</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4257917002416684161/8331301015514176105/comments/default/5280519132674294056'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4257917002416684161/8331301015514176105/comments/default/5280519132674294056'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/05/quick-q-on-minority-turnout-model.html?showComment=1210623956699#c5280519132674294056' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/05/quick-q-on-minority-turnout-model.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257917002416684161.post-8331301015514176105' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4257917002416684161/posts/default/8331301015514176105' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257917002416684161.post-4962525014805631945</id><published>2008-05-12T16:04:03.997-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-12T16:04:03.997-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I think the most interesting thing about your anal...</title><content type='html'>I think the most interesting thing about your analysis shows is how difficult it is going to be to turn VA and FL blue.

It is simply an elaborate way of saying "Obama will win".&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The point perhaps is that the assumption of a larger white turnout is framed in such terms as "counter-mobilization". This is far too sinister. Quite simply, the elections are going to be very interesting and so many people with no more than marginal interest in politics will, this time, bother to vote. Many will be AA, many will be Latinos, many will be young; many will be none of the above. This must be brought into your model and it must be borne in mind when planning the campaign.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Both Poblano and Obama have done very well so far based on hard work.

Isn't Kerry turnout in OH already much higher than in, say, VA? Doesn't that make additional increases harder? (One of the questions you addressed mentioned "diminishing returns" but you didn't address this part of the question). I can think of several ways to try to account for this, off the top of my head, but without your numbers to play with I can't see which one might help.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4257917002416684161/8331301015514176105/comments/default/5435752995356897478'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4257917002416684161/8331301015514176105/comments/default/5435752995356897478'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/05/quick-q-on-minority-turnout-model.html?showComment=1210609115380#c5435752995356897478' title=''/><author><name>homunq</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15539994035167878969</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/05/quick-q-on-minority-turnout-model.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257917002416684161.post-8331301015514176105' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4257917002416684161/posts/default/8331301015514176105' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257917002416684161.post-977896038887904106</id><published>2008-05-12T11:28:39.075-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-12T11:28:39.075-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Bill said: I have been around blacks and Latinos a...</title><content type='html'>Bill said: I have been around blacks and Latinos all my life, and I cannot remember a Latino ever opening a business in a black neighborhood, Orientals yes, Latinos no.

How can you automatically conclude the Latinos just because they usually vote Democrat, will vote for a black. I have personally talked to quite a few and worked with several, and have yet to hear any of them say anything good about blacks, why would they vote for one. I am convinced that if Latino registration increases it will be a negative for Obama and a positive for McCain.
