[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not so much that he spoke Spanish as what he said in Spanish. He didn't say he loved taco bowls and cinco de mayo. He said we are all Americans. [/quote]

It's not just that he speaks Spanish and therefore the Latinos are a lock for the Dems.  He speaks Spanish and LIVED IN A Spanish speaking country for a year doing community service.  He lived and worked WITH Spanish speaking people on their terms, in their culture.  When you immerse yourself in another culture, in service to the people of that culture, you show a genuine interest in and learn to appreciate the nuances of that culture.  THAT's why it matters that he speaks Spanish.

It wouldn't be the same if he simply studied Spanish in college for 4 years.  He sees Latino people as real people with hopes and dreams and actual HUMAN WORTH.

I did a similar volunteer corp program in the inner city.  You can't help but gain an understanding of people when you live with and serve them.[/quote]

This. Duh. He is not being praised for knowing how to conjugate Spanish verb tenses. [/quote]
