Obama Says “Yes, We Can!” But Among Hispanic Voters: Can He?

by Associate Press , February 12, 2008

Obama also will be spending more time with Latinos in Latino communities, Peña said, especially as the Texas contest nears.


“When Barack has the time, and when we have an opportunity to physically present him, he gets very strong support in the Latino community,” Peña said. “Our race is a race against time.”


All of that could go a long way toward overcoming the myriad and complex factors for his lagging Latino support, and “maybe a lot of Hispanics will think about electing him,” said radio host Jimenez.

Added Rehbinder: “I think Latinos could vote for an African-American. They just have to know him, and this African-American has to reach them — in their way.”
