Aren't the majority of Latinos already in the Democratic camp?

What was it Lily Tomlin said about cynicism? No matter how cynical you get, it's impossible to keep up.

For some interesting additional context you might want to google "Jim Bell" and "Assassination Politics"

I agree. I think the presidential nominee will either be Dean, Kerry or Gephardt. For all of them, but possibly less so for Dean, Richardson would make a lot of sense. Graham would make a lot of sense for Dean or Kerry, but perhaps less so for Gephardt. But don't overlook the warm feelings Dean and Gephardt have for each other (Dean supported Gephardt in '88). A Dean-Gephardt or Gephardt-Dean ticket is not out of the question.

I guarantee that Graham is the only white boy who has a chance at the VP slot-- getting Florida is compelling enough to override demands for diversity on the ticket. Otherwise, the VP will be Richardson or a female candidate like Diane Feinstein (which would make me unhappy, but is a real possibility).

You guys are forgetting Wesley Clark. Of course, it is WAY to early to exclude Clark from the top spot. . . .

"Aren't the majority of Latinos already in the Democratic camp?"

Surprisingly and sadly enough, they aren't. It's bit ridiculous that a majority of Hispanics voted for Mayor Bloomberg of NYC.

"While Democrat Al Gore beat Republican George W. Bush by a 2-1 margin among Hispanic voters in the 2000 U.S. presidential election..."

It's pretty ridiculous considering Republican policies in no way help Hispanic Americans in fact, only make life harder for us and I really don't understand it myself.
