PA's Latino Voters on Obama
by Brian Zumhagen and Marianne McCune
NEW YORK, NY November 03, 2008 —There’s been much talk of racism this election season, and not only white racism. The Latino vote may be a deciding factor in some states, and over the past year, many Hispanics have spoken of prejudice in their own communities against African-Americans.
But polls are increasingly suggesting such prejudice will not turn Hispanics away from Senator Barack Obama when they enter the voting booth.
WNYC’s Marianne McCune says her conversations with Hispanics in Pennsylvania point the same way.
