The majority of Latinos believe the United States is ready to elect a Hispanic president, but there are still some reservations about the prospect of it happening during this generation, according to an exclusive Fox News Latino poll released this week. The poll, which surveyed 887 likely Latino voters, found that 48 percent believe the U.S. would have been ready to elect a Latino president this year, male or female, compared to 40 percent who said no and 12 percent who are undecided.

"Just look at the incredible and very real anti-Latino climate right now," Davila said. "We [Americans] are not even at the point where we can imagine Latinos as Americans without any hesitation or questions."

That is what it seems like to me. I apologize if that is not the case.

I am afraid of having a nation where people elect public officials based on RACE rather than any other criteria as a primary motivator.
It's extremely illogical. We should be picking people based on their platform, their suggested policy reforms.

I remember in 2008, Bobby Jindal, Gov. of LA, his name was tossed around, and he's of Indian descent [India].
But there is still uncertainty as to whether or not he would be eligible to run, because of his parents.
But from what I've heard and read about him , he would be a good contender.

O.k... tell me. What Latino potential candidates are out there who are legally eligible? What criteria do the Hispanic population use to gauge who should be this Latino President? Do they want this President to cater to their population specifically or for the whole country, Whites, Blacks, Muslim, Jew, Everybody. Who's party do they wish this candidate to be from, the republican, democrat, Independents, Tea Party or Other?
All these things must be known so we can better gauge this news.

Who do you deem an electable Latino President?
Raul Grijalva (D) Arizona?
The dip$hit who encouraged the boycott of his own state?

I'm not afraid of a Latino president... I'm afraid of the people that would vote for someone just because he's a Latino.
