a lot of experts are attributing this to the latino vote and that rowing latino population there. is that something both of you guys see and agree with and can you also speak to the latino vote in arizona and its impact? >> let me take the first attempt at that question and turn it to our panel is. all though we do know about arizona the whole immigration debate has served to penalize the latino electorate, much through s.b. 1070 and the efforts of sheriff arpaio with proposition 187 and governor wilson's re-election campaign that took on a very anti-immigrant tenor and that campaign and that legislative circuit penalize latinos in california to naturalize those who were already citizens registered to vote and i think we are seeing something similar in arizona where we are seeing an electorate that really energized in response to the measure that was taken. let's not forget arizona itself is a swing state although the stranded republican for many years. governor bill clinton, president bill clinton carried that state in israel at shin in 1996. ana or maria any comments? >> i think

many latinos are disillusioned with president barack obama.e reality is that he has deported more immigrants than any other president in the history of the united states and he broke a promise. he said that in 2008 and it's very difficult for latinos to believe president barack obama. however, when latinos have to choose between president barack obama who still supports immigration reform and the dream act, and governor romney, who supports self-deportation, who says that he's going to veto the dream act, who doesn't have a plan for 11 million undocumented immigrants, he's saying he has a permanent solution but hasn't given any specifics. when latinos have a choice, they still prefer president barack obama. >> maria, you reinforced this earlier. when people think of the latino vote, where it's especially important, people typically think of states, big populations like florida or california, but as you said, if you look at a state like colorado, where the president and governor romney are neck and neck, 13% of the electorate that's latino, it

let's talk a latino voters are doing. let's not forget the impact latinos have been to decimate.ere were at least four states that one in 2004 that barack obama carried in 2008. much of it on the strength of his latino support. latinos were also very influential in the primaries in 2007 in 2008, with the hispanic vote key to john mccain's victory in florida, sending them on to win the gop nomination in the competitive race between senator obama and senator clinton, sending the contents onto the primary, much of it much of it on hillary clinton's strength on this support. so they have an impact both in the primaries and also in the primary. we expect to see in 2010, latinas continue to have a significant impact on the american political landscape. in 2010, latino republican candidates did exceedingly well increasing their numbers in the united states house from three to seven and also having latinas select date the senate and marco rubio from florida in two republican governors. brian sandoval of nevada and has anna martinez becoming the first latina to hold the governorship in th
