Editorial: This past week the Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney went out on the campaign trail along with Florida Senator Marco Rubio in what could be described as a vice presidential trial run. Rubio received a warm welcome among the folks at this town hall meeting in Aston, PA. Rubio, of Cuban descent, was their [...]

Comentario: Por Humberto Caspa, Ph.D. Marco Rubio es un tanto demasiado rubio para considerarse Latino. No es el color de su tez lo que lo deslatiniza, tampoco es su ascendencia ancestral, ni mucho menos su nombre. Los güeros, las personas de ascen-dencia europea y los Rubio, respectivamente, los hay desde México hasta Tierra del Fuego. [...]

“There’s no way Republicans can suffer electoral swings of that magnitude and survive.” A detailed analysis of the 2012 electoral map by Markos Moulitsas of DailyKos shows that Mitt Romney’s problem with Latino voters could be decisive in the November elections. The analysis relies on recent polling, information about Latino voter turnout, and examinations of [...]

Comentario: By Maribel Hastings America’s Voice WASHINGTON – A Mitt Romney no le gustan los indocumentados pero tampoco parecen gustarle algunos ciudadanos latinos, sobre todo si son juezas puertorriqueñas que sirven en la Corte Suprema del país. En su lucha por ganarse a la base conservadora del Partido Republicano en el proceso primarista, Romney, el [...]

Comentario: Por Maribel Hastings America’s Voice  MIAMI – Ambas campañas prometieron una lucha cuerpo a cuerpo y sin perder tiempo, los precandidatos a la nominación presidencial republicana, Newt Gingrich y Mitt Romney, se lanzaron dardos en su búsqueda del voto latino o más bien cubanoamericano de cara a las primarias republicanas del 31 de enero [...]

Por Rafael Prieto Zartha Con una sonrisa de comercial de crema dental para saludar a los latinos con una mano y en la otra con un cuchillo para asentar la puñalada trapera en la espalda, el precandidato republicano a la presidencia, Mitt Romney, lanzó su campaña para lograr el voto hispano en las elecciones presidenciales [...]

Comentario: Por Maribel Hastings America’s Voice  Con la primaria republicana de Florida en puerta, la primera que manifiesta ampliamente el cortejo del voto hispano del estado del Sol, no deja de sorprender que republicanos como Mitt Romney sigan pensando que la estrategia que aplican para apelar al voto cubanoamericano del Sur floridano es la estrategia [...]

Commentary: By Raoul Lowery Contreras Howls of laughter bounce off the walls in California’s capitol, Sacramento with the revelation of an exciting new criminal defense that follows the creative “Twinkie Defense” in San Francisco a generation ago that justified murder. The “tumor” defense of Democratic legislator Mary Hayashi bamboozled a judge enough to lower her [...]

Por Rafael Prieto Zartha La vida te da sorpresas… sorpresas te da la vida. Resulta que el bisabuelo del aspirante presidencial republicano antiinmigrante, Mitt Romney, fue objeto de la hospitalidad de México en el siglo XIX, y se estableció durante décadas en el estado de Chihuahua. Miles Park Romney era parte de un grupo de [...]

Commentary: By Maria Cardona Tuesday night’s tight contest for the top spot in the Iowa Republican caucuses reflects the ongoing tension that exists within the Republican Party. This struggle between the conservative religious voters — whose voice is strong and loud in Iowa and was represented by Rick Santorum — and the more moderate, mainstream [...]

Comentario: Por Humberto Caspa, Ph.D. Finalmente empezó la guerra republicana por el “ticket” de las elecciones de 2012. Desde temprana hora del día martes, la batalla política en Iowa estuvo caracterizada por la incertidumbre. Nadie supo quién iba a tomar la delantera final. De momento, el candidato preferido de los libertarios, Ron Paul, parecía imponerse [...]

Perspective: By Julianne Hing ColorLines     Can GOP voters stomach a presidential candidate who talks about undocumented immigrants without calling them “illegals”?     Can the tea party base that’s driving the Republican Party handle a presidential hopeful who acknowledges the impossibility of deporting every one of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country, [...]

By Valeria Fernandez New America Media MESA, Az. — Mesa voters got their say in a historical election that resulted in the recall of Republican Senator Russell Pearce, also known as the architect of SB 1070.     Pearce conceded defeat in a brief press conference in the City of Mesa surrounded by politicians, friends and [...]

Commentary: By Miryam Barajas    During the McCain campaign, as I spoke daily to Hispanic voters, I wondered what needed to be done to win the Hispanic vote, and I quickly realized speaking to them 60 days before the election was a failure, and this was validated on election date.     To win the Hispanic [...]

Guest Editorial: By Justin Akers Chacón    Republican presidential candidates are foolishly jockeying to see who can be the harshest on undocumented immigrants.    Michelle Bachmann has called for sealing the U.S.-Mexico border with a double wall. Not to be outdone, Herman Cain has called for an electrified fence backed by military personnel armed with [...]

When Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan is analyzed, it’s not such a good deal for the self-employed Commentary: By Alberto Marrero Salas    Watching the Republican debate (desperately hoping for some light to shine through) about a third of the debate dealt with Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan.    The Cain 9-9-9 plan consists of the following: [...]

Comentario: Por Maribel Hastings America’s Voice    Mitt Romney, aspirante a la nominación presidencial republicana que por estos días le huye a la reforma migratoria como el diablo a la cruz, seleccionó al ex Secretario de Comercio, Carlos Gutiérrez, uno de los negociadores de una propuesta de reforma migratoria bajo la administración de George W.
