Korn executive director of the Hispanic leadership network all right Jennifer you've been on the fall we want to prediction from you hard numbers.
How -- the Hispanic vote split in Florida what -- -- Good morning -- great to be here.
I think that.
Romney can get 42 to 43% as a Hispanic vote and a -- -- get between 5557%.
-- -- Still a huge break towards President Obama and -- talking Florida.
With a large Cuban Hispanic population which will break fumbling for Romney.
In other -- the non Cuban Hispanic population goes still oval -- -- for President Obama that's really what.
You -- -- -- -- in population is going breaking towards Romney and now we're seeing the Puerto Rican.
-- population starting to trend towards Romney I think that has to do it.
The help of senator Marco Rubio and also governor -- for Daniel who's been campaigning heavily for Romney in Florida.
But that's still twelve points full President Obama amongst Hispanics even though.
Cuban Americans in Puerto Ricans that off that trending towards -- Who -- is what what's the other section of the Hispanic community that I don't know about that is trending so much for President Obama.
Well you have a lot of Hispanic evangelicals now we're starting to trend at towards Romney.
And before in the first debate 39% of Hispanic evangelicals -- going for Romney.
I believe that that number is just going to increase -- -- a lot of Hispanic evangelicals in Florida.
OK so you've got here -- predicting a twelve point advantage for president of bomber amongst Hispanics in Florida.
What was it in 08.
In 080 he had 60% over 60% of the Hispanic vote.
And -- just last week -- Axelrod said that for sure that they would get over 60% so that's.
A difference of you know 57 points that he's actually losing.
Okay next topic Eva Longoria big pot of the Obama campaign's outreach to Hispanic voters now she even got a prime speaking spot at the convention.
Yesterday she went out she sent out a -- written by someone else but she re tweeted it.
It called that -- a racist and my misogynist and a whether I'm -- gonna use on TV she's apologized McConnell late.
Paula tells on the Internet -- -- you can't take anything back what's your response to this.
Well it's it was a very offensive it was very juvenile and also vulgar.
It's a distraction from the issues Hispanics when here -- issues and so the fact that she would say that I don't see how any minorities or any women could vote for Romney because he's up.
You know so called a racist and -- massages.
Is ridiculous that's offensive to those of us out here who -- conservative and worried about 10% of Hispanic unemployment.
Worried about high gas prices.
Did it doesn't it really uncertain -- what will it -- I mean.
-- -- very much involved in politics you follow this thing on a very very close basis what about those Hispanics in Florida who don't follow it on -- day to day basis but they hear about something like this from Eva Longoria.
All they climbed off the Democrats -- is it didn't sound off really.
It is a -- and it's an embarrassment and that's why I think you that you saw that people really weren't supporting her and it she came out to sales something was wrong with my Twitter account and then she finally had to apologize.
And sell his that even Democrat Hispanics don't wanna hear that they want to talk but.
