Although a recent survey shows most Hispanics are opposed to the war in
Iraq, Dean did not dwell on the Bush administration's foreign policy.
"It is a moral value to have a strong national defense," he said. "All Americans are incredibly proud of the brave men and women in uniform who risk their lives daily."
Two out of three Hispanics in the United States are of Mexican descent, and one in 10 is Puerto Rican. Nearly 4 percent are of Cuban origin and 15 percent are of South and Central American origin.
good howard, lets not insult the folks of latin origin who are in the millitary
but here loud howard made a snafu
To win Latinos back, "We need a 50-state strategy," Dean told several hundred elected and appointed Hispanic officials belonging to the National Association of Latino Officials.
"We want you to come to us and tell us what we need to do to win in your communities," Dean said.
About 93 percent of the 5,000-member Latino association belongs to the Democratic Party, said Dean, who was governor of Vermont from 1991 to 2003 and ended his 2004 bid for the Democratic Party nomination after finishing third behind Kerry and
John Edwards in the Wisconsin primary. He was elected chairman of the
Democratic National Committee in February. His tenure, until 2009, precludes him from running for president.
Howard going to a group where 93% of the people voted for you guys, and you lost their votes... maybe that's the wrong group to ask
