Something that you guys are covering right now. We heard from president obama on the topic for the First Time Since delaying the immigration vote. Now youre there in washington. What are you hearing . Did he reassure latinos that they have not been forgotten . Thats a great question and its really been an interesting one, especially as we inch closer to the midterms in states like North Carolina where theres a Contentious Senate race as well as colorado, another race thats extremely close. And both states having a hispanic part of the electorate thats really important. And so there was concerns when the administration delayed this immigration action until after the midterms that perhaps it would upset some of the hispanic voters. That has not seemed to be the case. It seems that hispanic groups are sticking with the president. But that could change. I mean, i think that, you know, this is something that has moved extremely slowly, upsetting a lot of folks. And i think that the bottom line is going to be if this passes, what is the end result . And thats when i think some of these groups could get upset is if they dont get what they want. On to hillary.
