Latinos Vote Overwhelming For Clinton
Posted on 05 March 2008 by nuestrav
Clinton only finished narrowly ahead of Barack Obama in the Lone Star state — so narrowly that she may not even get the majority of the state’s delegates, roughly a third of whom were to be selected at caucuses where turnout seemed to favor Obama.
But the headline Wednesday morning will be: Clinton Comeback.
And the subhead should read: Thanks to Latinos.
Latino voters produced more than a third percent of the primary turnout, and they loved Hillary Clinton.
She beat Obama among Latinos by a better than 2-1 margin — 67 percent to 31 percent. Among Latinos over age 60, Clinton’s percentage rose to 81 percent.
