Which I might compare to conservative Spain, in which the catholic church has a lot of influence in public opinion.
The fact that homosexuals are assaulted on a daily basis is scary enought.
Long term, no, I don't see them being a democrat state unless there are some very big changes to Puerto Rico. However, the thing that changed in this election from most election was that the hispanic voter actually showed up. Statistically speaking, hispanic voters don't show up to vote as much as other voters do. This time they did and gave the presidency to Obama. Since Puerto Rico is almost entirely hispanic, until the Republican party gives up their lame ass immigration concerns (which are pretty much just a front for 'we-hate-non-white-people' attitudes), I can't see a state that's almost entirely hispanic voting for them. The only question is, when is the Republican party going to drop the borderline-racism within their party?
