If the Jewish Democratic voting bloc truly crumbles in NY; then Florida (and Romney's chances of an electoral win) is brighter. And that means Romney would be freer to pick a VP candidate who is not a regional play (i.e. NOT Rubio).
A truly conservative hispanic ....any ideas who ?
Chip away at the hispanic vote and Romney could easily pick up Colorado and New Mexico, and possibly Michigan......putting the pieces in place for an electoral thumping !
Here's hoping.

Susana Martinez is the Republican governor of New Mexico and a Mexican-American. I've heard her name mentioned a few times as a possible VP choice for Romney.
