FORUM: Hispanic Vote Will Decide Nov. Presidential Election

September 30, 2004

Hispanics will decide who will win the White House in the upcoming Nov. 2 election, panelists at a forum in Miami on the impact of the Hispanic vote said Wednesday.

The University of Miami forum featured Univision television network anchor Jorge Ramos, National Council of La Raza president Raul Yzaguirre, New Democratic Network adviser and former director of the Cuban American National Foundation Joe Garcia and state Rep. David Rivera, R-Miami.

While many debate whether it will be the presidential candidates' stances on the economy, the war in Iraq or the fight against terrorism which will decide who wins the election, the panelists believe that, in reality, everything boils down to the Hispanic vote and which candidate can secure it.

Jorge Ramos called this the "Christopher Columbus syndrome," since every four years Hispanics are "discovered" by politicians who then go to great lengths to woo their vote.

I am really getting tired of hearing daily-whines about which special interest group will "decide this election."

It's SECURITY moms, NO it's NASCAR dads, NO its WOMEN, watch out its Hispanics!! G.M.A.F.B.

You are absolutely right...

I am so tired of these group names for peoples of America.
Don't we have enough division in our Country?
Are we so self-consumed that we need be boastful of our
own group, etc. I live for the day of a 'ONE AMERICA' 'THE AMERICAN PEOPLE' 'THE PEOPLES OF AMERICA' !!!!!!!!!!!!!
