    Ruben Navarrette Jr....Clinton at risk of losing Latino vote

    "Clinton at risk of losing Latino vote"

    Posted by Neo at 2/28/2008
    By Ruben Navarrette Jr.
    Special to CNN

    SAN DIEGO, California (CNN) -- If Hillary Clinton loses the Democratic nomination for president, she might be able to trace her troubles back to when she lost her grip on the Latino vote.

    Bill Clinton called it. The ex-president may have doomed his wife's candidacy with his meddling but he was right about one thing: Several weeks ago, he told Spanish-language radio host Eddie "El Piolin" Sotelo that Latinos would "determine the nominee of the Democratic Party and the next president of the United States."

    So they might. Just not in the way that the former president imagined.

    When he made his prediction, Hillary Clinton was leading Barack Obama among Latinos by a 2-1 margin. No mas.

    A recent Gallup survey found Obama in a slight, but not statistically significant, lead over Clinton among Latinos. Obama-mania has gone multicultural. And it's about time.

    The Illinois senator spent so much of the early part of the campaign proving he could appeal to both blacks and whites that he never stopped to ask: "What can brown do for me?" As a result, Obama fumbled in the Nevada caucus.

    But he recovered in time to fare better than expected on Super Tuesday.

    He won the Latino vote in Illinois and Colorado and stayed competitive in New Mexico and Arizona, even while getting wiped out in California, New York, and New Jersey.

    Then he won the Latino vote in Virginia. Now, with the all-important Texas primary approaching on March 4th, Obama is trailing Clinton with Latinos in the Lone Star state but he's making inroads there.

    I keep asking myself if they are the monority then why are they more important than the majority? And why does it have to come down to race? All this pandering to HISPANICS, BLACKS, LATINOS...IS SICKENING...Last I checked we were all AMERICANS except for those 20-30 million IA...This is ridiculous...

    What if she wins despite a lack of the majority Latino vote? That would be sweet!!!

    The same was said of "Lou Dobbs voters."

    It's not, but since there is more of them here, plus the 38 million illegals in this country, the presidential candidates know who to kiss up to, in order to win the election. Sad.
    The National Council of LaRaza is the largest*hate group.

    The latino voting as a bloc is a myth. No latino in their right mind will tell you who they voted for, for a reason.

    Does anyone remember when Americans thought that all Italians were Mafia?
    Italians would joke about it amongst themselves, not realizing that many Americans actually believed it was true.

    Now the La raza, mecha, aztlan, VOZ and latino activists are doing all they can to make Americans believe that latinos all vote the same way. They are also blurring the lines between legal and illegal latinos and there IS a huge line there.

    If the latino vote was so important, how did Ron Paul win his Texas seat back with 70% of the vote?

    The OBLs are fear mongering.

    I too am sick of hearing how the latino vote is so important. How can that be when there are only 40 million of them opposed to 260 million of the rest of us? I swear the MSN and many latinos themselves think the sun rises and sets with them.

    Anything negative said about illegal aliens and their lib-symp ethnocentric enablers is considered "hate speech" nowadays. So we are supposed to suppress our freedom of speech and then we are told that the latino vote is "God-like" in this country? How did we allow such seditionist arrogance to grow like a cancer in our country? And we are the racists?
