Si se puede! Is it an Obama moment for Latino politicians?

The World

Over 10 million Hispanic voters turned out on Election Day and they overwhelmingly cast their support for President Obama, who received twice as many votes from the Hispanic community than John McCain. Now that Obama is in the Oval Office it’s time for Latinos to cash in and push their agenda. The question is: are they organized enough to maximize the power that they’ve earned? Joining us for a look at how Latinos need to leverage their political influence is Gebe Martinez. She’s a longtime Washington watchdog and a Politico contributor.
