Ann Romney Woos Hispanic Voters, Urging They Get Past Their Biases
Aug 29, 2012 2:10pm
Tampa, Fla. -Ann Romneys convention speech was directly aimed at wooing female voters, but at a lunch event Wednesday she changed her focus and pitched her husband to Hispanic voters, a voting bloc that is especially important in this battleground state, urging them to get past the biases
from the Democratic machine.
<...>
It really is a message that would resonate well if they could just get past some of their biases that have been there from the Democratic machines that have made us look like we dont care about this community, Romney said. And that is not true. We very much care about you and your families and the opportunities that are there for you and your families.
She stressed her immigrant roots, mentioning her grandfather who was a Welsh coalminer, aiming to connect with the Latino audience.
I know what its like to be the daughter of immigrants, she said

Technically I am hispanic, since I was born and raised in Mexico City, for example, but like many I am of true Eastern European decent.
Funny though, Queen Ann is talking about me... which is hilarious at multiple levels.
There are no races... best case we can make is ethnicity, and not even that one is close.
