Destino 2008 : Univision's Democratic Presidential Forum
I am opening a chat session and I will also be liveblogging Univisión's Presidential Forum. This is going to be incredibly interesting since the forum will be conducted in English.
LIVEBLOGGING
María Elena Salinas' first question seems odd : Is it a political risk to appear in this forum. This is an obvious jab at all the republicans that have refused to appear before a latino audience.
Jorge Ramos asks Kucinich, Dodd and Richardson if they would support making Spanish the second official language of the United States. Richardson used the opportunity for ragging on Univision for not allowing him and the other Spanish-speaking candidates to do so.
Kucinich has gotten the most applause with his answer about ending the war in Iraq.
I can't believe they went there : Salina's has asked why build a wall on the Mexican border and not build one with on the border of Canada?
More than two thousand questions were polled at Univision and about 70% of the questions were about immigration; which is why more than half of the forum is focused on immigration.
Now that last part of the forums is focused on America Latina ---please notice they didn't say 'hispanic' america.
Another incredibly interesting question : Do you believe Hugo Chavez is a dictator?
What do you think is going to happen in a Cuba without Castro and what would you do to aid that transition.
