Why the Latino Community's Political Clout Is Rising« Thread Started on Sept 13, 2007, 6:53am » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Why the Latino Community's Political Clout Is RisingBy Roberto Lovato, New America Media. Posted September 11, 2007.read at source> http://www.alternet.org/story/62161/Spanish-speaking Latino candidate Bill Richardson looked like he'd swallowed a big burrito when asked en Espanol, "Would you be willing to promote Spanish as the second official language of the United States?"His fellow Presidential candidates, all of whom were thrown off by and joined him in dodging this and other questions unprecedented in the annals of US political history, also looked like nervous immigrants being interrogated by ICE agents. To watch both the audacity of the questioning and the role reversal it inspired was to watch the translation of power.
