NEW YORK -- Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton announced Thursday that Raul Yzaguirre, a prominent Hispanic activist and former president of the National Council of La Raza, would co-chair her presidential campaign and lead its outreach to Hispanic voters.
"Hillary Clinton has spent more than three decades advocating on behalf of those who are invisible in America," Yzaguirre said in a statement. "Not only is she the most experienced and qualified candidate to be president, Senator Clinton has the ability to bring people together to get results and move this country forward."
Hispanics are one of the fastest growing voter groups in the United States, especially in the South and West. National exit polls showed that 69 percent of Hispanic voters favored Democratic candidates in 2006, compared to 30 percent for Republicans. But 44 percent of Hispanics voted for President Bush, a Republican, in 2004.

Si Se Puede!
Anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collectives have much in common. They will merge to achieve goals. We are fortunate that we can vote them into extinction.
The wisdom of the Hispanic vote is not perfectly obvious if one considers the political conditions in countries to the south of Texas...
Raul Yzaguirre:
“The culture has changed,” said Yzaguirre, president of the National Council of La Raza. “I mean, to walk into HEB (A Texas-based supermarket chain) and feel like you’re in Mexico is pretty profound. You walked into HEB when I was growing up and it felt like every other American chain. They’ve adapted. They’ve Mexicanized their products and services.”
Translation: All y’all illegal immigrants! Vote for Hillary and she’ll make your dreams come true!!
Hillary will have:
Obama as VP
Richardson as Secretary of State
Angling for the women/black/hispanic vote might work.
Yes they have, which is why I know of several trucking firms that will not deliver to HEB warehouses.
Reason: they are given a delivery appointment, then "something happens" to the appointment, and the Mexican shipper/receiver tells them they can either pay $100 to get unloaded right away, or he will make them wait a day.
Does this mean we can expect Rove and Brownback to support Hillary? After all, they can’t resist pandering to “the Race.”
Maybe you could photoshop a picture of the Mexican kid from Napoleon Dynamite with the words “Vote for Hillary” put in place of “Vote for Pedro”.
Brown supremacists?
Tidbits about “La Raza” (the Race)
Slogan
“For the race everything, for those outside the race nothing
Positions:
Claim that the SW USA rightfully belongs to Mexico.
Mission Statement:
Want the SW USA to secede (to be renamed “Azatlan” -— after the Aztex empire they celebtrate) be be ethnically cleaned of whites, blacks, and asians.
Current Activities:
Hidering all border enforcement activities, laws, and funding.
Not to mention "I will give you sanctuary even if it's against the law" Rudy.
How have we gotten along without La Mordita all these years?
Hillary making her play for the illegal immigrant vote, to counter Obama’s theft of her black plantation voters......
The illegal immigrants must figure Hillary is their best choice for amnesty and citizenship.........and reconquest of America..
A POX on all their a$$e$.
Semper Fi
Good point.
Now there’s some world class pandering...
Of course, the AP won't tell us what La Raza is all about, because that would make HRC look too radical.
Seems like this deal can easily backfire on her in a general election campaign. It should give the Republicans a soft ball to hit out of the park.
