Pima County Democratic Party chairman Jeff Rogers and Tucson Tea Party organizer Trent Humphries talk about the Supreme Court hearing on SB1070, Obama’s chances against Mitt in Arizona, the Republicans’ challenge in capturing the Latino vote, the Democrats’ challenges in getting out the Latino vote, the special congressional election between Democrat Ron Barber and Republican Jesse Kelly, this year’s U.S. Senate race, and the latest news from the Arizona Legislature, including efforts to block Planned Parenthood from receiving any federal health-care or family-planning funding and a bill that would thwart an United Nations takeover of Arizona through local energy-efficiency and sustainability programs.

  1. Mitt Romney’s Chances for gathering any support from Hispanic community, is equivalent to the possibility of finding a needle in a haystack. For the Republicans, To kiss, and make up, for the 3 years of making them to be nothing other, then political scape goats will require the persuasion of a great lover, such as the legendary Casanova, a talent the G.O.P. does not possess.

  2. Phillipb16 i think you got this mix up Romney is more a democrat then Rep. most Republicans are not happy with the selection. Even if Qbama win s this fall he still has done nothing for this country the last 4 years and i figure the next 4 years he will bankrupe this country. bottom both choices sink……

  3. Not all Hispanics vote the same way. There are those who fully realize that there is no way that this country can afford to provide services for people and their children who do not belong in this country. With his past performance and the greatly expanded Federal deficit I cannot see how anyone, Hispanic or other nationality, could chose another four years of Obama entitlement programs.

  4. Earl is right on…I said this last week and was blown off….Latin peoples are NOT all the same and if a Latin was running for President,95% of us would not vote for the candidate simply because he was one also,unlike the blacks who vote for obongo just because he is black!!!! Tribal mentality from Africa…..

  5. The Hispanics and women will help defeat Republicans. The past few years are the road map telling us what the Republicans have in mind, for the nation and the states. We just have to look at Republican controlled states to see what the USA would be with Romney as President. And the Ryan budget, would put us in the same financial crisis are the UK is now. People have to read, get smart as to the Republicans mission and agenda.

  6. Romney will never win the Hispanic vote! He will not win the Womens vote either!
    In fact if you exam the stats without prejudice, Obama is heading towards a second term victory!
    Obama is comfortably ahead in most voting blocks, especially in the 10 Battleground States!
    Arizona is in play for the first time in years! If SB1070 is upheld, it will only rally Hispanics behind Obama!
    As per CD8 and then CD 2 Barber will prevail. Jesse Kelly has heavy White Supremacist connections!
    He will long Be remembered for his stupid compaign tactic in 2010 at a rifle range saying something to the effect of “taking Aim At Getting Rid of Gabby Giffords”!
    Needless to say MESSY SMELLY(OOPS)!, I mean Jesse Kelly is a BOTTOM FEEDER!!

    As per The Senate Race Carmona will win this! Flake will go down to defeat-too aligned with right wing positions!
    Arizona is gradually turning Blue like Nevada, New Mexico, and Colorado!
    If Hispanics in Texas unite in a solid front Even Big Red Texas could be put into play!

  7. Kelly smelly! His concerns are about guns only ! And them,trespassers,snicking over to the Land of the free ! Anyway,Kelly,needs a haircut,he needs to go to Ron “the Babershop” Barber” 🙂

  8. I’ll be strictly voting for candidates who want to secure the border, are against amnesty for illegal aliens and are pro enforcement / deportation. When the supreme court upholds SB1070 in June it will have a domino effect and more states will pass similair legislation. Attrition through enforcement!! I’m a 29 yar old Hispanic male… I could care less about Obama being afraid to offend Mexico. America’s laws are to be enforced in the best interest of Americans!!
