But, won’t McCain get a lot of credit for all of his work on immigration reform.

But, John McCain will be recognized in the Hispanic community for all of his positive work on immigration.

However, McCain would need to a Hispanic voter turnout rate equal to George Bush’s in order to make up for the lack of enthusiasm in his own party. Just not looking likely to happen.

Obama will automatically pick up a certain percentage of the Hispanic vote simply because he is the Democratic nominee and the party has long proven itself to be the party of the Latino community. However, he and all Democrats will have to work together in unity to motivate Latinos to turnout in the same numbers they did during the primary. Senator Clinton’s involvement will be key as will efforts by key Democratic campaigns for down ballot elections such as Senate and House races to motivate the electorate.
