A Q&A With Barack Obama From: hispanicbusiness.com

Q: Hispanic voters in the primary, given the choice between you and Sen. (Hillary) Clinton, chose her in greater numbers. Now that the choice is between you and Sen. (John) McCain, what do you do to win them over?

A: I don’t normally pay much attention to polls, but the latest polls have us beating John McCain by 35 points among Hispanic voters. I do think we’ve got room to grow by letting them know of my track record. I’m not new to the issues that are important to the Latino community. I organized in communities, bringing black, white and Hispanics together around jobtraining and after-school programs in Chicago. I’ve been a consistent supporter of programs like the Dream Act that provide in-state tuition in Illinois to children of the undocumented. I’ve been a leader on comprehensive immigration reform. “*
