Martin O'Malley Courts Hispanics Who Could Be Key To His Success

[FSogol]

Martin O'Malley's stop at the US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Washington DC on Wednesday for a question and answer session is part of a larger effort to appeal to a vital and growing sector of the American electorate and perhaps eat into the overwhelming support currently enjoyed by Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

O'Malley, who is 50 points behind Clinton in the polls, has come out strongly in favor of issues important to many Latinos. And immigration advocates, who remember Clinton's past missteps on the issue, have taken notice. They say O'Malley has a strong track record from his time as governor.

"It's not just words but actual actions," Cesar Vargas, co-director of the Dream Action Coalition, said. "It's a day and night difference from O'Malley and Secretary Clinton."
