Republicans not reporting for Univision Spanish debate

They used to say they were interested in the Hispanic/Latino vote. Now they can’t be bothered. They must see our wave a-rising. What’s this about? The Univision debate that was to let the presidential candidates appeal to a Spanish-speaking TV audience will not have a Republican forum. The Democratic candidates will all be there for their Sept. 9 debate at the University of Miami, but the Republican event scheduled for Sept. 16 has been called off. Only John McCain had confirmed to attend.

This Miami Herald report mentions our local effort, as well as the national drive run through NDN to build a national Hispanic strategy to win elections.

I say chalk all this up to a victory of our think tanks over their think tanks (if they’re still thinking in this stage of collapse).
