Focus shifts to Hispanic vote


All eyes are on the Hispanic vote today, as Latinos are 25 percent of the electorate in Texas, a hefty percentage that could determine a tight race between Democratic candidates New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

Hispanics vote will undoubtedly be key to today's election, CNN reports, whether they maintain their loyalty to Clinton or not.

Newsday reports that Hispanic support for Clinton seems to be wavering.

The San Francisco Chronicle dissects each campaign's revised strategy to attract Hispanic voters.

Clinton, in particular, has made a heavy appeal to Hispanic voters, who she and her husband have sporadically courted for years. This includes gearing Spanish-language ads to "Latino time," or suggesting voters show up 15 minutes earlier.

And finally, an article about specifically Hispanic women's voting preferences.
