foro_republicano3.jpgAnd we’re off, hopefully the simultaneous translation won’t throw me off like it did during the Democratic debate. I wonder how many English dominant people (Latino or not) are tuning in on CC3? I know that many gringos who watched the Univision Democratic debate and blogged it, kind of missed the main points. Mitt Romney, Giulianni, Ron Paul, and McCain have a huge fan club in the audience. Who is Duncan Hunter? I really know little about that guy.

First question: Why has there been a drop in Latino support of Republicans? There was a huge delay in getting the translation. Giulianni didn’t answer the question. Romney said Latinos have a string connection to Latinos since so many of us are in the military, so many of us are business people, and so many of us are people are faith. Huckabee said that Republicans obviously haven’t communicated well with Latinos. He focused on the disparities in education and health between Latinos and non-Latinos. McCain basically said that Latinos were anti-abortion, religious, and pro-military. Not this Latina. McCain also said that just because of Republican immigration stance many Latinos have written off Republicans.

Liveblogging the Univision Republican Debate

foro_republicano3.jpgWe covered the Democrat version of the Univision debate and tonight almost all the Republicans take center stage at the University of Miami (Tom Tancredo said the debate, held in Spanish with the candidates answering in English, was an insult). What will likely be an insult will be the pandering the candidates will no doubt engage in. I can’t wait to hear how they handle the immigration issue as well es education, and health care.

The debate begins at 7 pm (est) and can be seen on your local Univision channel (no where else because that’s how Univision rolls).
