Description | ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (AP) -- The Democratic presidential debate is providing the party with a high-profile opportunity to deliver a simple message: "Queremos tu voto," which translates to "we want your vote."
Hispanics represent the country's largest and fastest growing minority group and securing their votes in the 2004 election is crucial for both political parties. In recognition of that political reality, Democrats are holding Thursday night's televised debate involving the nine candidates in a state with a large Hispanic population -- about 42 percent -- and a Hispanic governor.
Beyond location, the debate will include questions in English and Spanish. It is being co-produced by the country's largest Spanish-language network, Univision, which will air a translated version of the debate on Saturday. Public television will broadcast the debate live with a second audio track in Spanish. |
