It's kind of offensive that so much is made of this guy's ethnicity. He is either qualified for the job or not and his ethnic heritage should have nothing to do with it. Denver had Frederico Pena more than a decade ago. It is not like American voters have been unwilling to elect minorities. This guy's Mexican heritage should not be news.
When the candidate isn't qualified play the race card to win.
This has everything to do with the fact that Mexico is working night and day to swallow up the US. They call it 'integration'. We're exchanging one culture/language/work ethic with another not known for producing widespread prosperity and jobs. Latinos in large cities are pandered to by politicians. Once they get power, you'd better believe they'll vote in changes. They want what they left behind, as silly as that sounds. But it's human nature. They come here, looking for prosperity, a better life, and they don't realize thisi s tied to the culture and mores/English language/work ethic of the US. LA is now gone, most of Texas, Arizona. New Mexico, Colorado not far behind. NY will have a Latino mayor soon. Aztlan was a pipe dream not long ago. Not now.
