It looks like admen a generation or two out of touch just found out the kids are into this thing called the Internet.<br /><br />I remember in 'Right from the Beginning' Pat describing the Scots-Irish Protestant origin of his name.<br /><br />I agree with Steve's main premise that the GOP making a play for Hispanics won't work and probably never will. Hispanics are largely apolitical (not necessarily bad to libertarians like me, who don't like the government) but those who do vote understandably do so for the handout party, plus you can argue their communitarian culture mixed with echoes of Catholic Social Teaching™ (holy welfare state, Batman) means the Anglo bootstraps ethic of individual liberty and self-reliance just doesn't compute with them.<br /><br />Double standard: a part-Cuban Republican won't win Mexican-American votes (Cubans and Mexicans don't normally identify with each other) but a Dem with the same background would be a victorious Mr Pan-Hispanic.Ecgberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354592772973677609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-76556955357894269052012-11-15T21:27:16.452-08:002012-11-15T21:27:16.452-08:00Darragh, like Buchanan, is a Gaelic surname.
