Politico would have you believe that Hispanics turn cold shoulder to McCain
“I feel bad for McCain,” said Sam Rodriguez, the president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and a prominent supporter of George W. Bush in 2004, who is neutral this year. “We find ourselves between the proverbial rock and the hard place. We really like John McCain. We really don’t like the Republican Party.”
Perhaps.
However, this assumes a couple of things:
1. That “Hispanics” vote as a block.
2. That “Hispanics” are unaware of Obama’s position on entrepeneurship. abortion, born-alive legislation, and gay marriage.
The article makes a good point,
And [McCain]’s been unable or unwilling to attack Obama—who was once thought to have taken a lethally liberal stance by supporting granting drivers licenses to illegal immigrants—from the right.
Hit, and hit hard, Mac.
UPDATE
Via Larwyn, Bill Dyer, guestposting at Hugh Hewitt’s, The race stays close, and Obama isn’t becoming any blacker
“Hit, and hit hard, Mac.”
The most recent McCain ad (posted at my blog) is a good one, tying Ayers and the financial crisis with the common thread of Obama’s ambition. But he needs to hit Obama with this and other questions of judgment and character at the last debate as if he were wielding a 2×4.
Regarding the Latino vote, conservative Mexican-American friends break out in hysterical laughter every time some Leftie activist talks about “the solidarity of La Raza.”
