Here's an opinion piece that echoes what we've been saying for a long time: Latino/Hispanic voters are not a monolithic voting bloc.

With Mitt Romney the presumptive frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination (although his potential loss in South Carolina tomorrow could derail that), there has been much speculation about whom he might pick as a running mate.

We all know that capturing the "Latino vote" - a huge, demographically diverse group, but still considered a group - is important to winning elections. You can be sure that the major political parties and their consultants know this too.

It's been conventional wisdom among political pundits that rising star Senator Marco Rubio, the darling of the GOP since he ran for the Senate seat in Florida last year, that putting him on the Presidential ticket as a VP candidate would be a slam dunk: it would put Florida in the R column and it would increase Latino turnout nationwide.
