Comedian George Lopez Endorses Obama.
George Lopez will endorse Barack Obama while Amercia "Ugly Betty" Ferrera will appear at a Clinton campaign kickoff in Houston. There must be some kind of symbolism here. Lopez's stand-up is a lot different and speaks more loudly to Mexican-American than his TV character (just watch some YouTube clips), so this might actually have some clout. I have a hard time believing that the actual Ugly Betty character would back Clinton. Maybe the writers can answer that.
The Houston Chronicle also endorsed Obama.

The interesting thing there is, as far as I know, its older Hispanics breaking for Hillary and younger for Obama. Nonetheless-it might be true that they are actually individuals with minds of their own rather than examplars of racial and gender polling trends.
Oh, wait, I forgot, it's only white men who get to be individuals.

Yes, with Hispanic voters, like all ethnic groups real or imaginary, the breakdown is older voters for Hillary and younger voters for Obama. It is about change and who is ready to change.
