Hispanics in Congress favor Hillary Rodham Clinton

“With the 2008 presidential election still more than a year away, 15 out of 22 Democratic Latino members in the House have picked their candidates. Of the two Democratic senators, only Robert Menendez of New Jersey has stated his selection, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

Clinton has also garnered support of seven Hispanic House members, four of them women. Three of the latter are from California and one from New York.

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson is backed by three House veterans, two from Texas and one from Arizona. Also with Hispanic endorsers are Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd (two), former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards (two) and Sen. Barack Obama, who is supported by a fellow legislator from Illinois, Luis Gutierrez.”*
