Navarrette: Would Obama-Clinton be a dream ticket or a disaster?

The agrument on whether Obama should choose Clinton as his running mate is written by Ruben Navarrette Jr. The argument is posted in the Austin American Statesman and the author is trying to tell Latinos to keep their minds open to voting for Obama if he chooses Clinton has his running mate. The author uses stastics on the percentage each canditate has for the Mexican race. The authors makes a poimt to say that McCain could very well have atleast 40 percent of the votes. Not Republican president has had 50percent throughout history but there have been presidents who have come close. The value that the author is trying to make is that in some elections Lationos are taken for granted by the Democrats and written off by the Republicans. So he is telling them to keep their minds open. This "<http://www.statesman.com/opinion/content/editorial/stories/06/06/0607navarrette_edit.html"> editorial has really good points on persuading the Lationos to keep and open minds and for Obama to do the same thing.
