SOMEBODY SHOW THIS TO MARA LIASSON

Liasson is under the delusion that McCain is "competitve" among Hispanic voters and hasn't let go of that delusion.


Tale of two speeches:
Latino crowd gives polite applause to McCain,
standing ovation to Obama

McCain, a four-term Arizona senator well known and respected by Hispanics, gave a stock economic speech repeated word for word from the day before. He won only polite applause.

Obama, largely an unknown among Latino votes only months ago, drew a standing ovation after delivering a rousing populist speech aimed directly at their core concerns - immigration, education and health care.

...as of July 2, Obama was leading McCain 59 percent to 29 percent among Hispanic registered voters.
