I don’t recall Obama giving any speeches in Spanish, and he seemed to do ok among hispanics.
Do you honestly think hispanics would have voted for Romney if only he’d hablad en espanol un poco mas?
It’s a bit insulting to think a group would vote based on such superficial and shallow reasons. We need to give them more credit than that.
Romney had Rubio front and center at the convention giving the big speech just before he came on. Didn’t seem to sway many hispanics. He had Gov Martinez from NM in a big spot in prime time. Ditto.
I agree the GOP needs to do better at reaching hispanics and other minorities, but it’s going to take a lot more than some guy saying a few words in the mother tongue.
What’s next, will Rubio give his next speech wearing a sombrero and a mariachi outfit while strumming a guitar?
Well said.
Great comment. It's time we came up with something to help LEGAL immigrants welcomed to the Republican party...
Was it obama or biden who uttered these words:
"Cinco de quatro".
And, who could forget Gerald Ford trying to eat a tamale with the husk still on it!
I'd like to forget going to a TGIF or Bennigan's - style restaurant/bar (hic) and taking a little trip to the ladies room.(hic)
The place was insane! Large crowd, live bands, dancing (hic) like a maniac.People making crazy eye contact.
When I got back to our table, they told me I had pulled my panty hose over the back of my skirt or dress.(hic) Embarrassment - kind of like Obama and Gerald Ford!
