Univision Proposes Spanish-Language Presidential Forums

Univision wants the presidential candidates to speak to its TV, radio and online audience in Spanish -- simultaneous translation -- on issues affecting the Hispanic community.

Univision contacted the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates about participating in 90-minute TV forums in September on issues like health care and immigration.

The network pointed out that Hispanics are the fastest-growing segment of the electroate -- one that it said will play a "pivotal" role in the upcoming election.

All of the questions will be in Spanish, with simultaneous translations into English for the candidates -- though not viewers -- then the candidates' answers will be translated back into Spanish.

It will be a cold day in hell!!!

Last time I heard, only three, including McCain, republicans had agreed to show up. On CNN Tancredo says candidates should not participate in a forum that promotes keeping people seperate.
