This Bodes Well

I kind of suspected this whole brown/black divide was being hyped by the Clinton campaign. I'm still not sure, since I'm not really on the ground as far as that issue is concerned, but this article and this post suggests my suspicions were correct.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The perception that Hispanics won't vote for Barack Obama because he is black is a myth, and Obama trails Hillary Clinton among Latinos because she has long courted their vote and he was late to reach out, experts say.

"The suggestion of black-Latino electoral polarization is greatly overstated," said Rodolfo de la Garza, a political scientist at New York's Columbia University.
