“Pundits have been quick to use Iowa as a 2012 crystal ball. But, among the things that the results of Tuesday night’s caucuses cannot predict is how Latino voters perceive the Republican hopefuls.
The same will be true of the following primaries in New Hampshire and South Carolina, as none of the first three states have sizable Hispanic populations.
Estimates find that eligible Hispanic voters make up just 2% of Iowa’s voter population, and less in New Hampshire and South Carolina.
Unless the primary battle drags out through Florida on January 31st and Nevada on February 4th, we may have few opportunities for Hispanic Republicans to weigh in en masse on their nominee.”
