McCain, Obama, LULAC, & La Raza

7/7/08-  It's all about Hispanics this week, McCain and Obama are going full speed on appealing to Hispanics esta semana.  They'll be making major appearances at both LULAC & La Raza conferences…and this after both appearing at the National Association of Latino Elected Officials conference just a few weeks ago. 

 Latino voters are being closely watched, and it may be an area where neither McCain nor Obama hold too much comfort.  Critics have been criticizing McCain on his stance for what some say was shifting positions on immigration and the border issue.  While others say Obama has been late to the party…as Hillary's campaign was well-organized when it came to Hispanics, and Obama has much catching up to do.

 Will these guys say anything  new at these conferences? Promises to be an interesting time, as they race against each other to capture the Latino vote.
