The Mexican American Political Association (MAPA), a political-civic organization with origins dating back to the Kennedy administration, has endorsed Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses. No endorsement was made for any of the Republican Party candidates.
Many political observers and opinion leaders believe that the Latino vote will play a critical role in both the primary and general elections. With less than a week to go before Super Tuesday and tomorrow’s presidential debate here in Los Angeles, MAPA’s endorsement could add to Senator Obama’s “Big Mo” and put him over the top.
Interesting.
If Obama actually can slice into the Hispanic vote in California, he might actually have some semblance of a chance, despite Clinton's apparent big advantage from all the early voting that has occurred.
