By the numbers: 2 of the next 16 contests have Hispanic votes of 10% or larger

Rhode Island with 11%
Texas with 36%

Obama has weathed the storm for a while, but his lack of the Hispanic vote will come back to hurt him in Texas if he doesn't reach out to them.

But other than that, the Hispanic vote really won't have that much of an impact until April.

1. But it especially comes into play in November

2. IMO Obama should solve the problem by picking Bill Richardson as his running mate

3. Yup

It is a very important vote for us in November, along with the white and the black vote, but you need to get to November first.

4. Hispanic? That term sucks.

FYI

6. All the news stations use that term.

My Latino (as you look to call it) friends call themselves Hispanic.

The Census uses that term.

What's the problem?

Want to bring your false outrage elsewhere?

8. My friends who are Mexican take offense.

Your "Latino" friends seem fine with it.

Pero es mi dos centavos, es todo.

on edit, pero es.

5. The son-of-an-immigrant factor might resonate.

7. Who is the son of an immigrant? just curious?
