Obama Course 101: Winning Hispanic Votes...

6/08/08- Okay Obama - o mejor dicho…ahora que…Obama.  Hillary way won the Hispanic vote by ginormous margins in nearly all states.  And now…as the Democratic nominee,  Obama (some might say) is up a creek….con los Hispanos.

In Puerto Rico, Obama lost by 36 points to la Clinton just a few days ago on June 1st.  And while Hispanos make up just 10% of voters nationwide, they present a significant portion of the population in some large, significant and sure to be battleground states….California…Texas….New Mexico…Florida…New York..etc.

In Texas, the primary turnout broke records for the largest voter turnout ever..but any number of reasons..immigration, the heated Democratic battle, more Hispanics (population growth) could have accounted for this.

Word on the street is that now with Obama in one corner…and McCain in the other…Hispanics just don't know who to vote for.  Obama…is hard to relate to…while McCain has been wishy washy about his early support of Hispanic immigration issues.

Para quien votamos?
