Hispanics key audience for presidential debate
As President Barack Obama and challenger Mitt Romney meet in their potentially pivotal first debate Wednesday, one crucial audience for them will be Hispanic voters, particularly those in battleground states.
But it’s unlikely that either candidate will specifically aim messages at Hispanic voters, instead relying on more general themes about the economy and other issues to reach them, said Gary Segura, a political science professor at Stanford University and a principal in Latino Decisions, a political opinion research firm.
