Hispanic Leadership Network: President Barack Obama

Florida Dept: Both men were appearing Friday with the Hispanic Leadership Network. Florida has roughly 1.5 million Hispanic voters, who figure to play prominently in the largest and most diverse primary so far in the state-by-state nominating process to challenge President Barack Obama in November, according to The Chronicle Herald. Immigration is a flashpoint issue ahead of Florida s Tuesday primary for the Republican candidates, who are trying to strike a balance between sounding compassionate and firm about stemming the tide of illegal workers. The state has roughly 1.5 million Hispanic voters and jACKSONVILLE, Fla. More than a million Hispanic voters are the prize as Republican presidential rivals Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich resumed campaigning Friday after a feisty, final debate before Florida s primary on Tuesday. We are not anti-immigrant, we are not anti-immigration Romney said to applause, suggesting the news media had unfairly tarnished his party s reputation among Hispanics. His refrain also echoed a theme that was at the heart of one of several clashes with Gingrich at Thursday night s debate in Jacksonville. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
