   Every video helps. Jennifer Lopez has a great American Dream story.

     I agree. She not only has a great American Dream story … she’s a great woman and a wonderful ambassador for President Obama.

   The new poll finds 87 percent of Hispanics say they are almost certain they will vote, including 8 percent of Latinos who have already cast their ballots through early voting. ”Eight percent of Latinos is about a million voters, that’s a pretty big deal,” says Gabriel Sanchez, a University of New Mexico political scientist. … In 2008, 84 percent of registered Latinos voted, according to the Census.

   Overall, President Obama is favored by 73 percent of all Latino registered voters, compared to 21 percent for Romney.

   Sixteen percent to go. Jennifer Lopez should help.

     Yes, Hispanics may be the big surprise of 2012. The ‘mainstream’ likely voter models said Hispanics (and African Americans) would not turn out in numbers like 2008. Umm … that ‘mainstream’ likely voter model isn’t looking so reliable….
