Obama Connecting With Hispanics?

Does Senator Obama have a connection with Hispanics?  The answer is....

Yeah, we get the point, the answer I think most Hispanics would say is: no senor. 

Obama has come off as one-dimensional in may ways in his outreach to Hispanics - in that drum up a personal connection way.  However he has been good on talking about issues Hispanics care about: health care, the Iraq war, education and jobs.   A recent poll released last month showed that Latino voters favor Obama, 47, over McCain, 71.  One voter said that, "Obama is surely in touch with the concerns of Hispanics."

Additionally Hispanics are sure to play a more important part in the polls as Latino voter registration has increased from 47 percent in 2004 to 56 percent this year. 
 

Could this lack of personal connection be the "McCain Opportunity"?  It could be the vulnerable spot for McCain to make a move in to capture the Hispanic vote. 
 

McCain, is looking for a similar Hispanic win vote in accordance with Bush's success in 2004.  President George W. won 40% of the Hispanic vote in '04.
 

It'll be interesting with a new female VP candidate how that'll stack up in the Republican record of the Hispanic vote capture...
