They sure are. This is going to be fun. IMO, Miguel Estrada will be confirmed. I don't think they want more appearances by the President on the Hispanic channels. Hehehehehe...
Going to the mat against Estrada is risky for Democrats. He doesn’t have obvious political baggage, and Republicans are portraying Democratic opposition as anti-Hispanic. The fact that Estrada is Hispanic did give Democrats pause, but with Republicans touting a conservative California judge who is African-American and a woman as a potential Supreme Court nominee, Democrats can’t be choosy. “If we play dead for an Hispanic, how are we going to touch an African-American woman?” asks a Democratic strategist.
