Only problem is..... I hate to say this but hispanics as a rule probably won't vote for a black candidate. Please don't hit me for saying that. I'm not at all prejudiced. I've had several hispanics tell me that themselves. They believe that most would rather vote for a woman for president than for a black person, and the majority of them will vote democrat. So if Obama has a chance here, he's got to draw the independents and liberal republicans. Where we live, whites are in the minority, so I have several close hispanic friends. Some close enough to be considered family.

I really wish all the primaries were the same day in the entire nation. The early primaries affect the voting in the other states way too much!!

Janet, Indiana should be a swing state, too. Isn't your primary in March, also??

I'm not sure if we'll be a swing state, but our primary is in May.
