Winning the Latina Vote

Latinas represent a large part of coveted voters for both McCain and Obama. They're pretty ticked at the Republican party for their moronic immigration stances, though, so McCain can probably forget it. Most Latina lawmakers apparently missed a meeting with Obama recently due to personal reasons, but they remain unconvinced by him, too. This "unity" meeting with Latina lawmakers was followed by another meeting the week before that Obama scheduled with women's rights activists, and he didn't even show up.

It's surprising that Obama isn't falling all over himself to try and win women voters. Maybe he doesn't think he has to. Nevertheless, his ambiguous stance on women's rights is exactly why so many voters weren't convinced he would make women a priority as president, and opted to vote for Clinton instead.

As it is now, a lot of women aren't quite buying it. We shall see, we shall see...

Don't forget Latino men too. We also feel like Obama is out of touch with us and is just now getting around to courting us. Like an afterthought.

and if Obama keeps it up with this faith based crap he's really never going to get the female vote
