Sen. Barack Obama has all but secured the Democratic nomination, but victory in November’s general election hinges, in part, on the Illinois Senator’s ability to galvanize the country’s substantial Hispanic population.
Before March’s Texas Primary, Obama campaigned heavily in the Rio Grande Valley, but won less than 40 percent of the vote in Hidalgo, Starr, Cameron and Willacy counties, all of which have significant Hispanic populations.
Will Obama be able to turn Hispanic voters – in South Texas and elsewhere – around before the Nov. 4 general election?”*
