On a recent flight from NYC, agency partner Liz Arreaga met another woman that lives here in Austin and they got to talking about the election. Soon the talk turned to voting and what they personally could do to get people to show up at the polls. By the end of the flight, they had a bet going - the person who could get the most people to go out and vote, gets treated to dinner by the other.
Out of this, a contest was born.
Oh, and just so you know, we aren’t collecting email addresses, selling you anything, etc. Liz just hates to lose a bet.

Looking to “dale mas gasolina” into his campaign, John McCain has reached out to Daddy Yankee for support amongst young Latino voters. This is a very unfamiliar endorsement, but an interesting one. Daddy Yankee spoke out that his support for McCain was the result of his strong stance on immigration among other issues.
I want to throw this out there: do you think this strategy works for McCain?
For one, Daddy Yankee is from Puerto Rico, and is, by default, a statutory U.S. citizen. So, why would he be concerned about immigration? One can argue that since his fan base is largely Latin American, immigration is a big issue for them, and contingently for him.
What do you think?
George Lopez is stumping for Obama and had some interesting things to say about immigration on Hannity and Colmes the other night (I can’t find the link, but if you have it, please post).
Today, as the Iowa caucuses are heating up to ignite the 2008 Presidential bid, many of the candidates are looking to fire up the Hispanic vote.
In the blue, Hillary Clinton is drawing Hispanic support in Iowa due to her stance on educational policy.
In the red, John McCain, long-time Arizona senator, who is often criticized by his own party for his stance on immigration reform, wins accolades from some Hispanic groups for supporting a comprehensive plan.
With these two small examples, the electorate is still trying to figure out what this “Hispanic Vote” really is…
The truth is, it’s just as varied as the general population, but with a spicy twist on how family values, education, the economy, and several other factors are implemented to best suit its demographic interest.
Now, what does that mean? Who knows…
We’ll see how the power grab for America’s top political jobs shapes up, but what is known is that we can still laugh as politicians try to say “Bienvenidos”.
