guest: earlier this week, todd vander platt said he did not value the straw poll.s talk of retiring it. is this anything more than a fund-raiser for the state republican party? guest: it is a great fundraiser. it is an opportunity for the candidates to pitch their message and meet with real people. i think there is some value in it. you have to look at it in context. the caucuses are what really counts. beating expectations of the straw poll could help the canada to build momentum to go on to the new hampshire primary. host: do you still expect the iowa caucuses will be first? guest: absolutely. we're committed to being first. if others move up, we will move the hours of. both parties are committed to keeping iowa first. we will do everything we can to see that happen. host: you have said he would even be willing to go into 2011 to see it happen. guest: quarter years ago, they were like january 3. anything is possible. it would be nice if it were to stay in 2012. we're committed to keeping the iowa caucuses first in the nation. host: thank you for your time. orida.

will platts continue to favor the democrats by 90% or so. they might not in 30 years or so. in the short term, i would be surprised if there was a lot of change. we saw it before barack obama and we would like to see it afterward. hispanics are a more debatable issue. in 2010, hispanics were only 60-38 for the democrats. that is a little bit subpar compared to the 2008 performance. 2010 net was a year that a lot of democratic margins were compressed. it is worth noting, and this is a technical dispute, a couple of very good academics who study this issue make very strong arguments that the exit polls tend to underestimate the strength of the democratic vote among hispanics. that estimate may have been a little bit of an underestimate. we will leave that aside. some hispanics are less democratic than other hispanics. there are some communities and some states that at times will show a far lower level of democratic voting that we typically see. that should not surprise us. they are tendencies. they are probabilities. if inouye nothing else about an area and you guessed it two-
