Nate Silver has this great posting. It comes with this graph
Silver analyzes the strange correlation that seemingly goes against conventional wisdom. Those with larger Latino populations voted against Sotomayor. A lot of it has to do with who are those are. Many are very conservative or in leadership. Some are considering running for governor. The people who voted yes come from oddly non-Latino areas and the only substantially Latino yes Republicans is Mel Martinez, who is retiring and disappearing soon.
Again, I love statistics and graphs, but as always just looking at a graph like this as Silver points out, is not enough. What may happen beyond is also unknown.
