few, if any, Africian American politicians remember latinos after they're elected. They court the Latino arguing an affinity between candidate and would be constituent but before long its " No Se Habla Espanol Aqui "

As for the Mass Senators, Kerry and Kennedy, they are as arrogant as Obama. Despite an overwhelmening turnout for Hilary, the two "Super " Delegates are supporting Obama instead of representing their Constituency. .... in effect disenfranchising them. What Arrogance.

The Latinos vote for the best candidate, not the best color candidate. Working people don't like smug, cocky, arrogant, phony candidates.
