"Obama Will Have Problems With Latinos" NOT!
According to a poll from Public Policy Polling, Obama leads McCain in Florida 46% to 44%. Although it's within the margin of error of the survey (+/- 3.6%), it is telling that among Latinos, Obama leads McCain 51% to 37% (on page 7 of the results). That trend is consistent with PPP's results for Virginia (47%-36% Hispanics & "others") as well.
I guess we can start putting this myth to rest now.
UPDATE - 7-2-2008:
Now, the only thing we need is to remember to vote.

UPDATE - 7-2-2008:
Hispanic registered voters' support for Barack Obama for president remained consistent and strong in June, with Obama leading John McCain by 59% to 29% among this group.Emphasis added. This is just what I expected: when Latinos look at what McCain and Obama have to offer, Latinos would brake in large numbers in favor of Obama.
While Hispanics generally preferred Hillary Clinton to Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination, a solid majority of Hispanics have consistently backed Obama against McCain in general-election trial heats. Obama has led McCain by about a 2-to-1 margin since Gallup began tracking general-election voting preferences in early March.
Now, the only thing we need is to remember to vote.

Viva La Junta Democratico, es el unico modo de voto para los Hispanos que queren governo responsible para todos, y no mas para los ricos que dependen en menteras...
Long live the democratic party amongst the Hispanic community, we don't fall for aristocratic lies who rely on unsuspecting masses to elect them and then when they get in office they betray the masses that elected them with 10 trillion dollar deficits, disgusting are their tactics. Dont be used by the Republicans to use you as a vote with empty promises.
Re: McCain/and Palin's Hipocritical (and False) Campaign = More lies! They are playing the "Religious"/"Pro-Life" Card.
Pro-Life cannot be Pro-WAR. How many innocent people died in Iraq, and how many of our young people and family sacrificed their health/lives/futures/conscious, for a war promoted with lies. McCain/Palin will steer the world towards MORE WAR. (Forget any serious thought to the further negatives of war: Irreversible global warming, waste of resources and irresponsible use of taxpayer's hard-earned money. Peace; when? Save the planet; when?)
See two designations, which could have profoundly benefited from some of those (wasted) Iraq War trillions:

The United States, and its taxpayers, have been PAINTED-INTO-THE-CORNER (financially) by the reckless, fraudulent spending of our tax dollars by the Republicans (WHO MADE BIG PROMISES TO US). Not only are homeowners losing their homes, but COUNTLESS FARMERS ARE LOSING THEIR FARMS ALSO. Are we going to out-source our food and agriculture needs as well?
