The role of Hispanics tonight

We will be tracking the Hispanic vote closely tonight. I wrote this piece on the Hispanic vote the other night.

I heard that the early CA exits have Hispanics at 29% of the Democratic primary vote tonight, a record turnout. Increasing evidence that the "sleeping giant" has woken.

Update: Senator Clinton won Hispanics in New York state 74-25. In Illinois Obama only won 52 percent of the Hispanic vote. The exits have Hillary winning the 29% of the CA electorate that was Hispanic tonight 66%-33%. Congrats to Sergio Bendixen and the whole Clinton Hispanic team for this remarkable showing. If Clinton wins CA it will be because of this spread.

The Obama problem with Latinos is not just a problem for the primaries, but if McCain is the Republican nominee it could be a very big problem in the general election.
