‘Unknown’ Obama struggling to woo California Hispanics

Tagged: , , , ,

““Obama? We just don’t know him,” says Hortensia, a Mexican arts and crafts seller at a bustling market in East Los Angeles, the heart of this city’s Hispanic community.

With just days to go until California holds its crucial February 5 primary, Hortensia’s sentiments are a common refrain among Democrat-leaning Hispanics as they weigh the merits of front-runners Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Both Obama and Clinton have aggressively courted Hispanics, who account for roughly one third of California’s population, launching Spanish-language advertising campaigns and mixing with Latino communities.”*
