Video: Obama campaign, RNC compete for Hispanic vote

Not only do Latinos account for 16 percent of the total U.S. population, they are also a formidable presence in many of the swing states like Colorado, and Arizona that could make the final difference in November. Obama campaign deputy manager Stephanie Cutter discusses.

I don't even understand why Republicans take guys like Nugent or Limbaugh seriously? It must be really embarassing for Romney to beg a loser like Nugent for his endorsement.

I wonder what other mentally ill person rules the Republican world.

There's a big difference between Ted Nugent's comments and Hilary Rosen's. Ted Nugent's comments did not offend the base that he comes from (NRA supporting conservatives). Hilary Rosen touched the "third rail" of both Conservatives and Liberals by implying that Stay-at-Home Mom's don't really work. Everybody wants to distance themselves from her remarks.

    Hilary Rosen wasn't insinuating that Ann R. didn't work at raising her children. Ann R. didn't have a worry in the world about holding an outside job and keeping food on the table and caring for her children. They have always had money and that's the key to what she was saying. People ought to pull their head and think before carrying on such a farce!

    She didn't imply that stay at home moms don't work - she was talking about never working one day in her life meaning 8-5/40hrs a wek. Did it come out like she was? Say and that is why whe took the heat for it.

    Most women work and are moms because they have no other choice - they have bills to pay. Those moms that are fortunate to stay home with their kids don't have the best nannies, clealing crews, schools etc. that money can buy to help them raise kids.

    Also, Romney's kids eventually grew up and she still never HAD to work so yes, her situation is NOTHING like what most woment are in. She cannot relate to a mom workin 8-10 yrs a day, coming home, making supper, doing homework with her child, do laundry & other house chores, etc. etc. etc. and then go to bed so she can go to work in the morning. Or figure out how to leave work because her kid is sick.

    What happened to Romney's: MOMS WITH EVEN 2 YEAR OLD SHOULD HAVE THE PRIDE TO GO TO WORK???? He flipped on that too?

    By the way, we all now now that Ann Romney's outrage was fake anyways. She used that as a tool to get some women votes for her flip-flipping hubby. But it appears that, like her husband, Ann Romney don't mean what she says....They deserve each other.

      How many in house nanny's cooks, gardeners and the like do you think Mrs Romney had? Does anyone think that her role in the household was in any way similar to 98% of American women?

        The GOP has as much chance of winning the Hispanic vote as it has of winning the votes of women, seniors, union workers, minorities, moderates...

        Yes, the Democrats will play their usual divisive politics and try to bribe specific groups with taxpayer's money...and also encourage people to consider themselves defined by the color of their skin or gender.Helpless dependents, who need government handouts.

        This divisive class warfare spiel often works with a lot of voters

        The Democrats are playing divisive politics? Really, now? The GOP has managed to offend and alienate most major voter blocs and it is somehow someone else's fault, right, Bob? The Republican Party is the party of exclusion, not inclusion, and that is not a strategy for winning elections. When the GOP learns that hard lesson, it will end its class warfare crybaby whining and it will learn to appeal to voters based upon actual issues. Until then, get used to failure, Bob.

        Bob in VA,

        More tax payer money will go to corporate welfare than it will ever go to "the helpless dependents, who need government handouts."

        This divisive class warfare spiel often works with a lot of voters

        The divisive class warfare started when people realized that while expenses have been going up, their income has been stagnant, while the top 1%'s income has increased by some 300%.

          That is all they can do. They have NOTHING else. It has all Failed so all they can do is spin and divide and manipulate groups.

              So the man accused Obama of being a criminal...he's violated his oath and bribed people to vote for his obamacare by adding to obamacare payouts to their state....Ted Nugent is right. And even if he wasn't, how is it something the SS will investigate? He has an opinion...last I checked it was still legal...for now... And his comment about "cutting their heads off" is a metaphor...if the SS can't tell the difference between a metaphor and a real threat, they can go back to dealing with their prostitutes in Colombia...

              The Dems can't get facts straight. How can they understand a Metaphor? Speak slow and repeat often and they will repeat.

                  Had to Google him to see who the f*uck he WAS. Why all the fuss? That's like Leif Garrett or Neil Sedaka calling Mitt Romney a Jesus Jammie wearing Mormon twatwaffle. This Nugent clown apparently likes to play with guns. Wonder how quickly he'd cry like a little bit$h if I showed up at one of his shows with my AR15? But with all this publicity I'll bet Mr. Nugent could totally get a gig playing at the Pacoima La Quinta Inn or something.
