Your position on whether or not Obama will win more Latino voters on Super Tuesday is based solely on Dolores Huerta's snarky "Como se llama" comment?

Necesitas hacer mas tarea, Joan. (Translation: You need to do more homework, Joan.)

"Hilaria" has been losing ground in California.

Last Sunday, the San Francisco Chronicle endorsed Obama -- Obama has TWENTY California newspaper endorsements. I believe Hillary has one.

More and more Latinos are getting on board for "Como Se Llama Obama..."

Just watch next Tuesday...

My question is based on polls showing she's leading Obama anywhere from 2-1 to 3-1, AncientAssyrian, as well as her overwhelming victory in Nevada. Thanks for weighing in.

Are you kidding? I've lived and worked in Southern California for all of my 50 years. There is no way Latinos are going to go for Obama in any significant numbers.

Hillary Clinton can bank on that. She knows it, everyone here knows it.

New York City has had almost 16 years of Republican Mayors because Black and Hispanic Democratic leaders prefered to fight with each other rather than agree on electing a Democrat. Given the long history of the Clintons working with all manner of people Obama is likely to have a lot of trouble with Hispanics.

One aside. Obama is generally doing well with younger voters who are treating his campaign as a cause. However your reference to South Carolina really exaggerate Obama's claim to the White vote in South Carolina. He won almost about 24% which may or may not be enough in November.

Re: "Dolores Huerta's snarky "Como se llama" comment?"

You think that was snarky? Obama uses the slogan of the United Farmworkers Movement (Yes We Can) without even mentioning the movement itself, or the work of Chavez or Huerta.

What if some candidate used as his slogan "I Have a Dream," but never mentioned King or his movement? It would come off as slick.

[The slogan's] origins lie with the Hispanic farmworker labor movement. In 1972, César Chávez, a United Farm Workers of America co-founder and Mexican American labor leader, embarked on a 25-day fast to protest Arizona's anti-farmworker labor laws. When supporters began to doubt that the laws could be changed, UFW co-founder Dolores Huerta, also Mexican American, responded, "Sí se puede."

Chávez adopted the slogan, as did the UFW, which still uses it. According to the UFW's Web site, www.ufw.org, the "sí se puede attitude" is one of the group's core values. The organization defines it as the "embodiment of a personal and organizational spirit that promotes confidence, courage and risk taking."

I haven't heard a convincing explanation yet as to why Latino voters seem to be skewing toward Clinton. You mentioned the theory that Latinos are familiar with the Clintons, but haven't had a chance to become familiar with Obama yet.

But why would that be an issue unique to Latinos? Why would they have had less exposure to Obama than, for example, under-30 white voters (who are showing a strong preference for Obama)? That doesn't make sense to me.

Has anyone done a survey of Latino voters asking their opinions of all candidates in the race?

1. Mic technique.

2. Lose the music!

3. Mic technique.

Salon's video content has been pretty abominable. Either do something right or don't do it at all.

Another tip: You don't need illustrated portraits in the caption of a VIDEO. This isn't a paper column. I'm looking right at you, I don't need a picture of your face beneath your talking face.

There is a lot of animosity between Latinos and Blacks. Many Latinos are easily swayed and they are being targeted by unscrupulous political hacks to believe that Obama is anti-American, non-Christian and a danger to the country. Have you ever picked up a Free Spanish language newspaper. I don't know who funds them but they lean heavily to the Right in their news stories. This could be a deciding factor in the race if he becomes the Democratic nominee.
