Obama must battle for Hispanics


As Hillary Clinton's campaign continues a back-and-forth on whether she will concede tonight, Bloomberg has a story about how Barack Obama will have a "fight on his hands" to garner Hispanic voters.

The article reports that statement from Antonio Gonzalez, president of the William C. Velasquez Institute to increase Latino voting.

A May Gallup poll showed that 62 percent of Hispanics support Obama, compared to 29 percent who support McCain. Although Hispanics have fallen away from their support for the Republican party, McCain remains a popular figure.
