1. Democratic Presidential Candidate Martin O'Malley to Deliver NCLR Keynote.
Fri Jul 10, 2015, 11:24 PM
Jul 2015

"Governor O'Malley is the only candidate in the race with a proven record of helping Latino families," said Gabi Domenzain, the O'Malley campaign's Director of Public Engagement, in a statement to Latin Post. "From championing drivers licenses for New Americans, passing the DREAM act in the legislature and leading Maryland to become the first state to defend it at the ballot box, to increasing government contracts to latino owned businesses by 157 percent and making Maryland public schools the best in the nation five years in a row."

"From the start he has engaged the Latino community through its media, appearing on both Univision and Telemundo national networks, and its organizations; in fact his first event after launching his presidential bid was before the USHCC (U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce)," added Domenzain. "We look forward to continuing to engage Americans and New Americans alike at the National Council of La Raza to highlight Governor O'Malley's record of leading on the most pressing issues affecting them todayand putting forth his vision for new leadership that gets results."

Makes No Sense To Keep 11 Million In Shadow Economy.

Attempting to further capitalize on his immigration record, 2016 Democratic hopeful Martin O'Malley on Wednesday promoted immigration reform as a way to improve wages for all Americans.

"How are you going to get wages to go up if you allow 11 million people to live in a shadow economy?" O'Malley asked at an event sponsored by the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

He further said immigration needs to be talked about as a national economic and security priority "not for this group or that group, but for us" as a country.

O'Malley committed to addressing immigration during his time in office if elected, but only would go so far as to say he hoped to make it happen within the first 100 days he is in the Oval Office.

O'Malley addressed the US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in DC today and answers questions.

And he can only appeal to people of color by changin his positions, which would drive the angry white liberal racists away.

Right?

It was actually "his, panics" at 39%. Even men who are panicked prefer Hillary to the Krabby Kommie.

The poll also glaringly leaves Martin O'Malley out.

YouGov specialises in market research through online methods. The company’s methodology involves obtaining responses from an invited group of internet users, and then weighing these responses in line with demographic information. It draws these demographically-representative samples from a panel of 3 million people worldwide including over 600,000 people in the UK. As YouGov's online methods use no field-force, its costs are lower than some face-to-face or telephone methods.

Sat Jul 11, 2015, 12:48 AM
Jul 2015

<He's not doing much better nationally among these key voting blocs, including racial minorities and older, more moderate Democrats. In the latest Economist/YouGov national survey of registered voters, Bernie receives only 10 percent support among African-Americans and 15 percent among Hispanics, compared to Hillary's 53 percent and 39 percent respectively. Keep in mind that in past elections racial minorities constituted more than a third of Democratic primary voters. >

20. What is interesting about this
Sat Jul 11, 2015, 02:35 AM
Jul 2015

in terms of H, is that she get 50% of the ages 45 to 64. I wonder if that is because those were the impressionable years during the Clinton era? I felt sorry for her when she was berated for wearing head bands. I was young and couldn't blow dry my hair well either. Funny, that was a big emotion for me....when I was younger.




But now I can blow dry my hair and am a minority woman pushing for Bernie!

I just had a terrible time blow drying my hair and she said she couldn't do it so that is why she wore headbands. I felt her pain...heh. The right gave her a hard time...kind of like the pant suit thing now. I think it strange that is what they focus on when they can actually look at her policy and nit pick.

its a funny thing. Virtually everyone on Team Palestine is a Bernie supporter, everyone on Team Israel seems against, or at least in the "damning him with faint praise category".

these numbers are based on a sample size of 57.

(source: https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/document/ar54q9h39k/econTabReport.pdf)

That is to say, Yougov polled 57 Hispanic people across the nation: 24 picked Clinton and 21 picked Sanders.

America is a large country. The number and diversity of America's Hispanic population are correspondingly large. One doesn't have to be Nate Silver to realize that 57 just isn't a big enough number to say anything.

247 LV - That was the sample size of that highly touted NBC nationwide poll that PROVED that Hillary was unstoppable with 75%

I didn't see anyone questioning the sample size on that.

We have to go with the polls that we have.

The CW is that Independents decide elections and evidently they've taking a liking to Senator Sanders. That may be another monkey wrench in the "unelectable" gearbox....perhaps a chink in HRC's inevitability. Things should be very interesting by Halloween.

24. Biden is leading "other" with 43 percent of the vote
Sat Jul 11, 2015, 03:36 AM
Jul 2015

hillary has 32 and sanders 22 .

i'm guessing "other" must be native americans , asians, and those who identify themselves as mixed rather than one race.

and here is the breakdown of the poll with O'Malley no where to be seen

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouGov

....

YouGov has claimed that its opinion polls are most accurate when compared to its competitors and in particular that its online methodology is more accurate than traditional polling methods.[7] Critics have argued that, as not all of the public have access to the internet, online samples cannot accurately reflect the views of the population as a whole.[8] YouGov counters that they have a representative panel and they are able to weight their data appropriately to reflect the national audience that they are aiming to poll.[9]
