Hispanic....?

Normally i tried not to copy text from news, but in this case it is necessary, so here we go:
"(AP) Gov. Bill Richardson, D-N.M., said Sunday he is taking the first step toward an expected White House run in 2008, offering extensive experience in Washington and the world stage as he seeks to become the first Hispanic president. "
Mr. Richardson, governor of the state of New Mexico, should not be using the word Hispanic as a description of his ethnicity.
This based on the fact that ONLY her mother ,Maria Luisa Lopez-Collada, was Mexican. His father , William Blaney/Blaine Richardson was from Boston.
The actual Governor spent sometime in Mexico city ( until he was 13) because his father was an executive for Citibank, after that he moved to
Massachusetts, where he continued his High School.
Perhaps the use of the "Hispanic" word was appealing to the voters of New Mexico where a lot of Hispanics of Mexican descent live.
But we are now playing politics in the Big Country, where Hispanics come from different countries.
I think the most appropiate way to define his ethnic background will be
" American with Hispanic ancestors" or "American from hispanic descent."

The New President

Today, United States Senator for the State of New York, Hillary Rodham Clinton, announced on her Web site her intention to run as a candidate for the presidency in 2008.

Senator Clinton has already made history by becoming the first former First Lady to be elected to public office.

Now, she's aiming to become the first female candidate to capture the White House.

Backed by some of the best political strategists in the country ,including her husband the former president Bill Clinton, and the political experience and exposure acquired during her 8 years as First Lady and 2 terms as a Senator along with an impressive war chest, her bid for the presidency seems almost a sure win.

Some Democrats objected her stance on the U.S.-led war in Iraq, which she voted to authorize in the U.S. Senate and some sectors of the american voters don't feel comfortable with her perceived liberalism and association with Bill Clinton.

We still far away from the election day , but without a doubt , her presence , today, as a candidate makes all the other runners reconsider their strategies.

Personally, i think her statement of “I’m in to win,” represents the future of her campaign.

Because, she is not only the most qualified candidate, from the Democratic side but also the Republican side does not have a a strong contender to match .
