    Comment: The media brought the race card into the campaign, and keep flogging it 24/7. Racial divisions are better for the rating than discussing the issues."

    I disagree. It was the clinton cmapaign that made Race the central point. They did it for pure and simple reason. There are simply more white votes than all colred votes combined. The Clintons must not be forgotten or forgiven for doing this.

    As a latino voter thank you for calling us brown, some of us forget (or would like to forget ) our heritage.

    I don't know if it is my illusion, but in looking at how the interviewer kept asking the "isn't such and such" questions, it is almost as if he doesn't want to accept that fact there is a potentially serious problem for Obama to get Hispanic votes. And probably partly due to this, what the author gave was the obvious answers, not more than what I could have guessed or came up myself, which makes this piece not as informative as I would like it to be or it could have been if the interviewer had asked deeper and more investigative questions (because he didn't have that secret longing to hear a different answer).

    Hillary will win the Latino vote and it will become the differance as we move on into the south and west in the primaries and eventually will be the key to her victory for President.

    I think that as the primaries continue you will begin to see that Hillary will start to get a larger lead. The latino voters will start to become an issue. Many latinos support the Democratic party the one key issue for them is which canandite to support. Latinos will support Hillary because of experiance and her knowing the task that are involved in getting things done in Washington. Obahma has great ideas but lacks the experiance and ability to get it done. After all Obahma wants change but will need to use the same old Congress to get things done. Hillary has proven to be able to work acorss party lines which is what is needed to bring change and Latinos see that.
