Democrats enjoy image boost among Hispanics

New polls from a pro-Democrat group show the party's standing rising among Hispanics in four key states, but many voters said they did not perceive a clear agenda from John Kerry.

By FRANK DAVIES

WASHINGTON - Hispanic voters in Florida and three other battleground states view the Democratic Party more favorably -- and President Bush worse -- than they did five months ago, according to polls conducted for a pro-Democrat political action group.

But another poll conducted for the centrist group, the New Democrat Network, and released Wednesday contains troubling news for John Kerry: About half of all voters don't believe the nominee or his party has presented a ``clear agenda for the future.''

2. Damn straight..we're Enjoying it!

The more Kerry and Edwards get out there and state their agenda for the future the more people will be able to percieve it.

3. That's because the only agenda right now is "winning" elections

But another poll conducted for the centrist group, the New Democrat Network, and released Wednesday contains troubling news for John Kerry: About half of all voters don't believe the nominee or his party has presented a "clear agenda for the future."

Issues and goals just cloud the picture.

4. I wonder how much of this can be attributed to Teresa

who has made elegant speeches inviting everyone into the democrat's "big tent."

5. Republicians hate minorities, including women. There's no room

in there party unless your rich, white and blind.

6. Perhaps Even Florida Hispanics Have Finally Noticed...

Perhaps even Florida Hispanics (and even some of the Cuban emigres) have finally begun to sit up and take notice of the xenophobic and anti-minority sub-texts in the mainstream "Anglo" Republican Party. Perhaps only now Florida Hispanics are looking at the GOP and are realizing that there is less there for them than they thought. Heaven knows that it might be taking the Cubans this long to wake up and smell the coffee. Texas Chicanos wised up YEARS ago.
