The Presidential Race, California and Latinos

Maria Elena Durazo gave her endorsement to Obama this week.

Obama has been trailing Clinton in California, particularly among Latino voters. But Durazo ould turn that around, especially if she has the resources of the LA County Federation of Labor. Unfortunately, though, she'll be taking a leave of absence from the Fed to campaign for Obama, so how will that play out?

Clinton, on the other hand, has the (rather loud) endorsement of Villaraigosa and Speaker Fabian Nunez.

"Many Latinos are not ready for a person of color."

We're about 20% of the California electorate, so how are we going to vote?
