His rallying cry echoes the late Cesar Chavez, the Latino activist who inspired legions with three simple words, “Si, se puede!” The loose translation _ “Yes, we can!” _ has become Barack Obama’s call to arms. But now, some are asking: Can he?
After a dismal showing among Hispanics in his Super Tuesday showdown with Hillary Clinton, can Obama entice this key voting bloc? And, if not, what might that say about a color divide that extends beyond black-white in an ever-expanding brown America?
Going forward in a neck-and-neck race, the ability to win Hispanic voters will prove vital in the March 4 primary in Texas, where nearly 25 percent of eligible voters are Hispanic. It could even push a tight race into one camp or the other in places like Maryland and Washington, D.C., where the Latino share of eligible voters in this Tuesday’s primary hovers at just 3 and 4 percent, respectively.”*
