San Diego, CA - Today, US Senator Barack Obama delivered an electrifying speech that moved the crowd on several occasions. I have now seen Senator Obama deliver this speech three times, and each time has has done better. Today was by far his best performance. Senator Obama addressed the major issues of the Economy, Education, Health Care and Comprehensive Immigration Reform. About 2000 guest were able to see Obama deliver his speech, while another several thousand were unable to enter the room due to overcrowding. Senator Obama has demonstrated a sincere interest in courting Hispanic voters with his efforts over the last few weeks. Tomorrow, US Senator John McCain will address the conference, but by the reaction of today's crowd I don't think that he will do as well.
Also Maria Peña from EFE wrote an article previewing Senator Obama's speech as well as dissecting the Hispanic outreach strategies of both presidential campaigns. The article includes a quote from me talking about the importance of being able to communicate in Spanish to many Hispanic voters. You can read the article here.
