From an otherwise depressing election.

According to the Las Vegas Sun, Latinos turned out in big numbers to keep Sharon Angle out of the Senate.

Despite earlier polling data that indicated Hispanics would skip this election, exit polls showed they accounted for a record 16 percent of total voters. That turnout was likely backlash to an ad aired by a Republican operative explicitly telling Hispanics not to vote, as well as inflammatory ads from Angle’s campaign that used images of Hispanic youth dressed as gang members.

I hope this signals to Republicans that they will pay a political price for making implicit racial appeals like this one.
