Big Spanish-Language Newspaper Endorses Obama, McCain
TPM Election Central ^ | 2/2/08 | Eric Kleefield

Posted on 02/02/2008 9:57:34 AM PST by pissant

Los Angeles-based La Opinión, the largest Spanish-language newspaper in the country, has endorsed Barack Obama for president — a development that could give him increased credibility among Hispanic voters in the crucial California primary. Key quote:

We need a leader today that can inspire and unite America again around its greatest possibilities. Barack Obama is the right leader for the time. We know that he is not as well known among our community and while he has the support of Maria Elena Durazo, Senator Gil Cedillo and others he comes to the Latino community with less name recognition. Nevertheless, it is Obama who deserves our support.

It's still highly unlike that Obama would win the Latino vote in California. But if he keeps Hillary Clinton's margin fairly low, he could make up the difference among white and African-American voters.

The paper also endorsed John McCain in the Republican primary, citing his principled support for immigration reform against the base of his own party.

It is a shame that a good chance that this election will be won by the MSM.

I’m shocked that McCain would be endorsed by a spanish paper :-).
Hillary’s mistake was changing her mind about the driver’s license issue. I noticed she never really answered the question when asked about driver’s license for illegals.

It’s obvious that McCain is making deals under the table.

McAmnesty endorsed by a Spanish newspaper. Whodathunkit!

I bet a certain Arabic-speaking news agency (Al-Jazeera) is going to endorse Obama.....

If it’s McCain versus Hillary, I’ll vote Hillary. If it’s McCain versus Obama, we’ll need another party (what’s left to lose?).

You know you’re going to get bit by a nasty snake. Do you choose the rattlesnake, the cottonmouth, or the coral snake? Cheers. Brought to all of us courtesy of Trojan Horse McCain, the MSM, and the DNC.
