President Barack Obama took 71 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2012, up from 67 percent in 2008. African-Americans vote overwhelmingly for Democrats (Obama got 93 percent of the African-American vote in 2012, and John Kerry won 88 percent of that vote in 2004). Asians, who were the fastest-growing ethnic group between 2000-2010, have tended Democratic this century, with 73 percent voting for Obama in 2012.
Players other than offensive linemen may enhance the success of a zone blocking scheme. For example, in a run-based spread attack like West Virginia's the primary responsibility of receivers is less to catch passes than to execute downfield blocks, springing the ball carrier and extending the run.n a zone blocking scheme, fleet-footedness and athletic ability trump size as desirable qualities in offensive linemen.
Teams will often put their best offensive lineman on the blind side to lessen the risk of pressure. Teams put a premium on keeping the quarterback from being sacked from the blind side, and will go to great lengths to acquire effective blockers for that side of the offensive line.
