U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor was named by 7 percent of respondents in a study to be the most important Latino leader in the country.

Less than two weeks after landmark victories on Election Day, Latinos nationwide still have very few people they consider leaders, a survey released Monday found.

When asked to name the most important Latino leader in the country, 64 percent of respondents to a Pew Hispanic Center poll said they did not know. The next highest response, 10 percent, was no one, the study found.

Beyond that, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor was the favorite among respondents. Seven percent of the 1,375 who were interviewed said she was the most important Latino leader in the country.

Five percent of the respondents picked Congressman LuÃ*s Gutiérrez, Democrat of Illinois, 3 percent voted for Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and 2 percent believed Univisión television anchor Jorge Ramos was their leader, the study found.

No one else was named by more than 1 percent of the interviewees.

The telephone survey, which has a 3.3 percent margin of error, was conducted from August 17 to September 19.

Still, the overwhelming majority, even in tough economic times and under a barrage of anti-immigrant rhetoric, felt leaderless. Not even the dramatic victories by New Mexico governor-elect Susana MartÃ*nez, Nevada governor-elect Brian Sandoval or Florida Senator-elect Marco Rubio inspired support from the respondents.

"The prominence of these offices conceivably could provide platforms from which any of the three could emerge as national Latino leaders, but to do so they would have to overcome some strong partisan head winds," the study said.

They need to pick new leaders.

We dont need ethnic-based leadership in this diverse nation. We need leadership that is color-blind and does not consider ethnicity. Everyone should be treated as equals.

Did somebody say Slim Pickens??

Latinos don't need leaders, because 'Bama and the 'Crats have an Open Borders, Come And Get It policy. If went don't construct an immigration policy which is actually in the best interest of Americans, Hispanics will simply use their voting power to formalize their colonization.
