(profuse apologies for the uncharacteristic lack of URL, I transcribed
this from the TV):
Lawrence O'Donnell, MSNBC:
"We now know what the secret Mitt Romney says at his $50,000 per
person fundraisers that the public Mitt Romney would never say. Romney
demonstrated some competence in campaign math. He told his audience
that president Obama's huge lead among Hispanic voters 'Spells doom
for us. We have to come up with some kind of Republican DREAM Act. We
have to get Hispanics to vote for our party.'".
His first big problem is Barack Obama and his second big problem is
Mitt Romney:
(archive footage)
"If I were elected and Congress were to pass the DREAM Act, I would
veto the DREAM Act" - Mitt Romney
"The answer is self deportation" (*) - Mitt Romney
(*) Making life for the undocumented person so miserable [which is
fine] AND HIS/HER FRIENDS AND RELATIVES [which is not], that they have
to leave.
"Arizona (**) is the role model for the country" - Mitt Romney
(**) SB-1070 - Unconstitutional according to all Federal Courts
Romney strategists are staring at a Latino lock on the Electoral
College.
“Assuming that Obama wins all the states that have been won by every
Democrat for the last 20 years, including both Gore and Kerry (242
electoral votes) and Romney wins all the states that McCain won in
2008 (180 electoral votes), that leaves 10 states: CO, FL, IA, IN, NC,
NH, NM, NV, OH, VA (116 electoral votes). With those ten states, there
are 1,024 possible combinations. Out of these 1,024 scenarios, Obama
wins 939 of them (91.7%) and Romney wins 85 of them (8.3%). All 85
scenarios REQUIRE Mitt Romney to win Florida, a state in which Obama
leads according to all the latest polls”
Latest Florida Poll:
All Voters - Obama: 50%, Romney: 45%
Latino Voters - Obama: 52%, Romney: 37%
"If you think that Romney can close that gap by choosing Marco Rubio
as his running mate, with the magic of Marco Rubio on the ticket
absolutely nothing changes in Florida"
Even Marco Rubio CANNOT save Romney. In fact, Jeb Bush carries more
Hispanic voters to the GOP ticket.

O'Donnell: "You Republican strategists are saying: 'How do we undo
this!? Look what we have done to the Latino voters... How can we
possibly get them back?'"
Steve Schmidt, Top Republican Strategist (*), agreeing: "If we [the
GOP] had a deliberate strategy to antagonize every Latino voter in
this country, it is not possible that we could have done a better
job".
"The Republican Party cannot be a national party if it doesn't compete
in the Hispanic market - Look at those numbers: we have big, big
problems"
