People don't get it, that Obama opened all those offices in Hispanic neighborhoods and states precisely because he wasn't getting current flow through the Chicano and Puerto Rican political leadership cadres. He's been trying to strap around them and hook directly into the Hispanic youth vote -- if he can get them to vote. It ain't over, guys.

If he gets the white and thw women's votes, it won't matter. And the Hispanic vote isn't going to be enough of a factor in the Bush states he could potentially swing.

Leftwing grubworm Brancaccio's PBS associates on NOW last Friday were begging to disagree.

It seems Mexican immigration has put New Mexico, Colorado, and Nevada (they think) into play. Obama is making a big lunge for them, trying to bust the Finkelstein Box in the West. But he has to open his own offices to work around the existing cadres, who, being older, are slow to cooperate with a black candidate, it turns out. Older Hispanics are cool to Obama, so he's trying to register and motivate young Hispanics to vote for him.
