Changing Tide...

In terms of the democratic party, Clinton has been the recognized favorite to capture the Latino vote. Nonetheless, with the big day in Texas just around the corner, polls are now showing that there may be a shift in the Latino vote. Whereas Clinton has previously held a 31 point lead over Obama in this category, he now surpasses her by a small margin. Texas is a crucial day for both candidates, but especially Clinton, for in the words of her strategist, if she fails in either Texas or Ohio "this thing is done." Obama has continued on his traditional path in terms of securing the Latino vote, by targeting the youth. This strategy has proven beneficial for him all throughout his campaign, but will it be enough? While this Tuesday is a very significant day for both candidates, I am not convinced that Clinton will drop out of the race, or even lose the race if she does poorly in either state. Although she is trailing Obama in terms of delegates, there are still super delegates to consider; it is far from over, because the democratic party is still not uniting in favor of one candidate as is being seen with the republican party and McCain. Tomorrow is up in the air...
