"Huerta had spent her life fighting prejudice, building a rap sheet that totaled 22 arrests. She co-founded the United Farm Workers union with César Chávez in 1962 to help laborers, then started her own nonprofit in 2003 to promote community organizing in low-income areas. Now, at 77, she offers an opinion on even the lowest-level political races in California, establishing herself as a gatekeeper of sorts in state and local politics. If you had Huerta in your corner to deliver grass-roots Latino support, politicians said, you had your ticket in."

Well thats the difference with Obama...he's not looking for votes based on a segregated demographic, i.e., being Latino, or Black, or Asian, or White, or rich or poor, or Democrat, or Republican...have you watched ANY of his debates. He's looking for THE PEOPLE who want to UNITE NO MATTER WHAT DEMOGRAPHIC they belong too. As long as you segregate yourselves you cannot come together and make a REAL change in this country. That is what OBAMA is about. Yes the Latinos in this country have a nice little voice when it comes to voting, but in the overall scheme of things...that little voice is still little. You have to unite with others who want the same type of change and government to make a LOUD ROAR. So those voting for Obama see that effect which is why he has the MOST DIVERSE supporters since Kennedy. Serously people, its time for a change. You can't expect a different result if you continue to play the game the SAME way.

the thing is.. people and politicians still think that the latinos, as other groups that came before (italians, irish, etc), are gonna adapt and just become part of the 'melting pot' like them.. but it has been proven, many times, that latinos have their own status quo.. latinos will not just give their spanish, family traditions and all other things most politicians ignore... latinos are not italians, irish, asians, and as long as the politicians think they will bring them to the 'crowd', things are gonna be the same. Yes, the 2nd 3rd generation latinos are more adapted to the country, but while there's still a big influx of 1st generation latinos, and while politicians keep ignoring that even though they want to adapt, they will just not give in some things, like the language for example, politics are gonna remain the same..

see the cubans in Miami, the cubans have a strong link among themselves, and politicians know they can't piss them off, cuz there'd be hell in Miami.. same with latinos, as long as politicians keep talking about negative immigration measures, about the 'press 1 for english' and many other things, like it or not, latinos are not gonna go for it..
