Latino Vote Was Heavily for Obama

I noticed as I was reading the article he says “all three groups worked together to realize, finally and fully, the ambivalent vision of the founders.” When I read that line I realized it wasn’t just those three groups even if they are broad. There is also the Hispanic group who played a huge roll in helping get him elected because they tend to vote as one group within the ethnic group. Just like the AARP tends to do.

In the second article I read notice that 64 percent of the Hispanics voted for Obama. And in the 2004 election they voted 53 percent for Kerry to win over Bush. When it gets broken down you can see how strong of group they can be when they chose to vote as one.
