From KQED News:
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa kicked-off the Democratic National Convention
Tuesday night. Both the Democrats and Republicans took care to court Latino voters
by showcasing Latinos in high party places at their conventions -- the Republicans
had New Mexico governor Susanna Martinez and Florida Senator Marco Rubio. The Democrats
are featuring Villaraigosa and San Antonio mayor Julian Castro. But beyond the VIPs,
how do the platforms treat issues Latinos care about? Host Cy Musiker talks with Louis
DeSipio, who has been following the conventions. He's a professor of Chicano/Latino
studies at UC Irvine.
