The GOP may be building a fence

But will the Hispanics embrace a fellow minority like Obama? One of Obama's more glaring weaknesses has been making the hard sell to Hispanics anywhere. Hispanics were Obama's worst demographics in his home state of Illinois (yes, I know that's technically where Hillary was born but that's beside the point). Obviously, Hillary has already made the case to Hispanics. However if Obama wins the nomination (which is still no sure thing thanks to the Superdelegates); he has to nominate someone like Mr. former everything Bill Richardson to be his running mate. This will be a key issue since swing states like New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, and Florida all have large populations of Hispanic voters. If Obama fails to make the case to these people, we could be looking at President McCain.
