Gregory Rodriquez was a colleague of mine at the New America Foundation and is now an LA Times columnist. This is a great article documenting that Latinos in fact will vote for black candidates, and have done so in local elections around the country (see bolded text below). He also shows how the Clinton spin suggesting otherwise is simply an attempt to create a real divide by purporting to describe one. A false and divisive racial tactic (once again).
Obama is going to have to work his butt off to get Latino votes in light of his lesser name recognition with that community. But I agree with Rodriguez it is not because Latinos won't vote for him on race grounds.
Admiring the commitment you put into your blog and in depth information you offer.
