Could someone explain to me as succinctly as possible why Clinton does so much better with Latinos than Obama does?

They *still* can't call Missouri.
He's really closed the gap there. Looked like a blowout early.
He's getting all his support from the populous St Louis and Kansas City counties, which were/are slower to come in with their votes
I got an email from Politico.com calling Missouri for Clinton.

Wouldn't shock me...But it is going to be razor thin either way and essentially a delegate wash...

I was wondering the same thing
Latinos, particularly first and second generation Latinos, are much more conservative than most people realize. Having grown up in AZ, they are very proud of the fact that they are a hard working people and for the most party very appreciative of the opportunity America has given them...they don't want any handouts, they just want to work and raise their family in a good environment, very family based. Also remember that they are strongly Catholic.Not very surprising to me, particularly when you look at how well GW did with this demographic in the last couple of elections.

John King slavering over district apportionment statistics is kind of unsavory. There's such a thing as liking your craft a bit too much.

 
:thumbup: Huckabee takes Georgia.Keep it coming, GOP.
Well two things:1) Huck winning some states gives McCain the Repub nomination. So yes -- go GOP.2) The dip#### vote? Middle America and the South are voting overwhelmingly for Obama. So if your point is they are dip####s for voting for an uber-liberal -- well I could agree.

I have a lot of contact with Latinos in the DC area (mostly in Maryland) and I can tell you that many Latinos around here, especially poor ones, are distrustful of blacks. I know it's not PC to say but I see and hear it time and again. I'm thinking Hillary benefits from this attitude. Also, declaring that "no woman is illegal" was a politically shrewd thing for her to say a few weeks ago. Of course, I think these same Latinos will vote in force for whomever the Democratic nominee is come November, regardless of color.

Because she's white and he's black. Given time Obama could change that but I'm not sure his message is getting to the community.
 
CNN on-line results now showing Clinton lead down to 49-48 in Missouri, with 91% reporting. This is starting to look good...

 
If you're as great a speaker as Obama, it's a great strategy not to say anything. Why say anything that could get you in trouble at all?

The guy's gold.

This is a campaign rally speech...this is not a debate...watch debates if you want detail.
 
This is kind of sad. McCain just whipped the field, and he's being blanked on both CNN and Fox in favor of Obama.
The Reps have no shot...all the charisma is on the Dem side.
Hillary Clinton has no charisma
I wouldn't say no charisma. I think she has about the same charisma as Romney or McCain. But it's true that not all the charisma is on the Democratic side. I think its clear that it's Obama and then there's everyone else on at least that count.None of which is to diminish the questions about Obama's experience or the fact he's liberal or apparently doesn't give detailed policy position papers at Super Tuesday campaign rallies or whatever real or perceived weaknesses he has.
