Nearing election he sought to regularized the status of Latino children born in the U.S. by giving them a pathway to citizenship and that won them over.
(2) Romney appeal was to old white voters, younger voters of all ethnic persuasion and new voters rode the Obama wave to the White House.
(3) Voters were terrified of Romney returning to deregulation of banks and financial institutions that got them in the current mess. Romney did not do enough to distance himself from the Bush years.
(4) Clinton’s speech changed the momentum and planted in the mind of voters that it will take some time to recover economically.

I think it would be good for it to be heard in trinidad becuse it incorporates our culture and reflects the President’s diversity so well. i would like to send a link so it can be shared with the home folks. The fact that he is a Trini musician did not allow him to compete to be on the President’s program but his people were definitely inspired by it.
