SanAntonioExpressNews'Victor Landa hits the nail on the head; Dems too dumb to get Latinos right

"In a Spanish language television ad, the Obama side accused John McCain of being in lock-step with Rush Limbaugh on immigration. That's three times bad for the Democrats. They made the mistake of bringing Limbaugh into the mix, as if Limbaugh mattered. They erred in thinking that immigration is a front-burner issue for Latinos (the Spanish ad was obviously aimed at the Latino population), and they were wrong in thinking that Spanish television was far enough from the mainstream that the ad wouldn't be noticed by the country at large.

And finally, for the Latino voter, the ad is a sad reminder that national political strategists haven't the slightest idea about how to attract the Latino vote. It's also a reminder that the Latino voter is seen as unsophisticated, narrow minded, one-issue centered."

My comments: If the Dems actually gave real power to Latinos they wouldn't make such idiotic mistakes. The Dems are least in the ball park; the Repubs don't even know there's a game being played. My advice: stop listening for Anglo and foreign-born ad salesman from Univision and start hiring and promoting some U.S. born Latinos.
