Latinos Say No Gracias McCain

16:05 H | Topics: Immigration - US Presidential Race 2008

mccain.jpgAs both presidential candidates take their immigration talk to Spanish only ads, it seems that John McCain's numbers are taking the biggest hit when it comes to that oh so coveted "Latino vote".

Polls show Obama winning the broadest support from Latino voters of any Democrat in a decade, while McCain is struggling to reach 30 percent, closer to Senator Bob Dole's dismal 1996 result than to Bush's historic 40% four years ago.

Some blame McCain's lack of ties in the Latino community, others point to his flip-flopping on immigration reform and speaking out of both sides of his mouth depending on the audience.

What neither candidate is talking about is the raids that keep happening behind the spotlight of debates and conventions.
