Clinton Tops in Hispanic Outreach Efforts

[William769]

Senator Hillary Clinton and former Governor Mitt Romney each lead their opponents when it comes to the depth and strength of their current Hispanic voter outreach efforts. Both have competent Spanish-language sections on their website, both have aggressive Hispanic media relations efforts, both employ some heavy-duty Hispanic staff or strategists and both work with high-profile Latino surrogates.

In Clinton's case, that includes a slew of elected officials and high-profile Latino activists.

Former National Council of La Raza president Raul Yzaguirre is the co-chair of the Clinton campaign and travels the country speaking on the Senator's behalf. "Clearly, she has done very, very well. The national polls for Latinos show that we are over 60 percent among Democrats and doing very, very well among all Latino voters,” says Yzaguirre.

Mitt Romney has sent his Spanish-speaking son Craig to South Florida several times. Craig has also voiced over themost recent of three Spanish-language radio ad campaigns that have aired in Miami.
