There's also a short article on this topic (with more facts and figures) here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x335150

As Cenk pointed out in the South Carolina primary coverage, this *is* a very diverse voting block (to anyone who's offended by the idea of someone simply saying "Latinos" to imply all of these different people vote exactly the same way). But with that said, the numbers are hard to ignore as you'll see if you read the article.


PS---For non-boring Super Tuesday coverage, check out www.theyoungturks.com and or http://bravenewfilms.org/network . They will be simulcasting awesome progressive coverage with TYT and other co-hosts (in the past it's been Wes Clark Jr, Christy Harvey of MicCheckRadio.org, Robert Greewald of BNF and more). If you watch at BraveNewFilms there are some cool features such as live blogging, live polling (of viewers) and a live chat. And as always, they have awesome progressive guests (and yes, even some MSM guests), ranging from Sam Seder to people from DFA, Media Matters, Firedoglake, Campaign For America's Future, The Nation, Newsweek and many, many more.

Seriously though, just watching the election coverage through the TV Talking heads is a questionable prospect (I doubt they'll be especially honest, insightful or funny). Even the NPR coverage, while informative, can be dry and boring. And the TYT/BNF coverage gives you up to date poll results on election days because they can see what ALL of the networks are saying rather than just the *one* network you would normally watch.

The New Hampshire coverage reached over 50,000 viewers, so clearly people are responding to this new format. Support progressive programming if you really are tired of the mainstream media!

2. Yes It Is

I'm also very interested to see if Richardson will endorse Obama and how that will effect the issue at hand. Currently Hillary has a huge advantage with Latino voters according every poll I've seen.
