The Emerging Minority - Hispanics
Barack Obama, does have a Hispanic problem
New York Times
By James Traub
In Nevada, the first state with a large Latino population to hold a primary, Hillary Rodham Clinton won 64 percent of the Hispanic vote and Obama only 26 percent. By the time of the Super Tuesday primaries on Feb. 5, Obama had apparently picked up many of John Edwards’s Hispanic votes, but Clinton still held her own, 63 percent to Obama’s 35 percent. With her back now against the wall, Clinton is counting on Hispanics to carry her to victory in Texas this Tuesday and thus preserve her electoral viability.
