New numbers reveal Latinos in swing states like New Mexico and Colorado are overwhelmingly supporting Barack Obama, despite Latinos apparently feeling super icky about voting for a Black man. How fickle, these Latinos. According to recent polling data, Latino voters in New Mexico are voting for Obama over McCain, 69 to 28. Compare that with the very similar national average for Latino votes — 67 to 29 — and you’ve got… Something!

On the flip side however, John McCain has received backing, probably to a Daddy Yankee song of some sort, from Miguel D. Lausell, a businessman and political activist who formerly served as one of Hillary Clinton’s senior political advisers during her silly lady-campaigning. Says Lausell:

“I find McCain to be a sound person and a man with a track record. I know where he is coming from.”

A tiny mosquito encased in amber? WE JOKE. So first Latinos hate Black people, then Latinas are all about McCain’s newly appointed vagina-person, then Latinos are all about Obama, then this one guy says McCain isn’t that bad, then Sarah Palin bites the head off Joe Biden while everyone’s distractedly trying to figure out when these Latinos figured out how to read in English.
