Obama Courts Latinos in Silver Spring – Maryland

Illinois Sen Barack Obama (D) made an unexpected stop this afternoon in Silver Spring, at Mayorga Coffee Roasters, a Latino-owned shop. The event had not been announced publicly and was intended to be a chance for an intimate meeting between the presidential candidate and local Latino business owners and elected officials.

When he arrived, he was surrounded by such a crush of cameras and reporters that few got a chance for long talks. Still, Obama walked around the store, greeting supporters and asking children for their names. Eight-year old Elizabeth Cove and her brother Jack, 12, got a chance to talk to the candidate, then ran back to their mother literally hugging and squealing with delight. “It was the best experience!” Elizabeth Cove said.”*
