Congressional Hispanics pledge to help Obama win

By Paddy


As Kos says-

The notion that Obama won't get the Jewish vote is as ridiculous as the one that he couldn't win Hispanics or low-income whites or women or whatever. All of it is fiction. Always was.


WASHINGTON (AP) — Most of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus have shifted their support from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama and are vowing to help Democrats win the Latino vote.
Obama met with the caucus Tuesday evening in what attendees said was a cordial meeting and the first time many had met or had any significant discussion with Obama. Only one of the four female Hispanic caucus members attended.

Hispanic voters heavily favored Clinton over Obama during the Democratic primary season.

"I told him I worked my heart out against you and I'm ready to work for you now," Rep. Henry Cuellar, an avid Clinton backer, said after the meeting.
