Democratic Music

I found an interesting article on the songs that Clinton and Obama made to try and capture the Latino vote. I used the titles of the songs and searched them on youtube to listen to them. They were all pretty corny to me, but in the article a Latino critic analyzes the songs and says they all suck except for one of Obamas. I think that it is very funny that they are trying to make catchy music to appeal to the Latino Bloc. This just reinforces the idea that the Latino Vote is vital to the Democratic outcome. Along with the idea of music here is a quote from an article, "Mrs Clinton’s best chance is to overtake Mr Obama in the popular vote. On most counts, she trails Mr Obama currently by more than 700,000. This lead is shortened significantly if Florida and Michigan are included. The gap could be closed all together if she can hang on until the “second-class citizens” of Puerto Rico – who are barred from voting in the general election – have their Democratic primary. Over a million are expected to turn out in a contest where her advantages among Latino voters and role representing hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans as New York senator should give her a handsome victory." I found this interesting because of the fact that Clinton should have an even better chance of getting the Puerto Rican vote due to the fact that she is the senator for the city where most Puerto Ricans reside.
