Underdog Gravel shines as star candidates gives Latinos more of the same » VivirLatino

“It was the first time in history that candidates in a presidential campaign addressed Latino voters on Spanish language television. The drum beat of buzz around this event began several weeks ago, and anticipation has been building up in Latino media about the “historic event”. Historic it may have been, but groundbreaking it was not. After watching the YouTube debate and the PBS forum, the Univisión event seems like más de lo mismo — more of the same. The only real difference was the terrible simultaneous translation and how hard it was to differentiate the candidates’ stances on issues, as they all seemed to be either parroting their closest neighbor in the responses, or punting questions to avoid straight answers. I guess it’s only fair that the Latino community get the same treatment as the rest of the U.S. — dancing around issues and excuses made for prior fouls.”
