Hispanic Vote

     During the last Republican debate an audience member asked what message the candidates had for Latino voters.  Generally the answers were correct.  The Conservative message is the same for every American, regardless of background, ethnicity, race, gender, etc.  Conservatives do not separate people into groups and pit them against each other.  That is something the left does.  And it is doing it well when it comes to the Hispanic vote.
     The left is horrified over what may happen in 2012 and is doing everything it can to help Obama.  The traditional media is trying to warn Obama of an impending Latino loss, which is believed to be a key voting block and a major factor in choosing the next president of the United States (KTNV.com).  Not a good thing for Obama, whose approval rating has fallen eleven points with Hispanics according to the above article.  Many Hispanics, who are quoted with expressing several concerns and complaints regarding the administration, say they will not vote for him a second time (MiamiHerald.com).  In addition, the Atlantic points out that Perry has a good chance of picking up a lot of support from Latinos (full article here).
     But the traditional media also give Obama his strategy in the next election.  They scorn Republicans, who they state are doing terribly on the immigration issue when they should be capitalizing on it.  They also down play Obama's decreased status, saying that Hispanics won't vote for Republicans either.  In fact, they focus more on the Republicans than on giving Latino concerns any legitimacy.  They're main point of attack?  The same as always: stop the racist Republicans, who will deport all Hispanics, legal or not. 
     The traditional media is sounding a signal bell.  Liberal Latino leaders need to get out there and drum up support for Obama, or the consequences could be dire.  They need to attack Republicans on immigration and make them seem racist if the Obama presidency is to be saved.  The only problem though is the left's belief that the number one issue for Latinos is immigration, when the number one issue for everyone is the economy.  And on that Obama cannot deflect or escape blame.
