WASHINGTON (CNN) - In a development that could bode well for her chances in upcoming presidential primaries, Hillary Clinton overwhelmingly won the Hispanic vote in Nevada - the first contest where Latino voters played a significant role.
According to exit polling, Latino voters constituted 14 percent of Nevada Democratic caucus goers, and 64 percent of them voted for Clinton. Twenty-four percent chose Barack Obama, and 9 percent favored John Edwards.

Incredible job, Hillary. You have persevered in the face of lies, distortions, hateful radio ads, and even being mocked by Obama in his "comedy act". You hung in there, walking the neighborhoods, talking with voters, and kept getting your message out in spite of the Obama campaign hurling every underhanded trick they could possibly dream up.
Keep up the great work., Hillary. We love you in California and can hardly wait to cast our votes for you on Super Tuesday.
It seems like Bll clinton is running for President more than Hillary. I bet he cant wait to get back in the white house to get his groove back!
This is no small matter.
There are more latino's in the country than african americans now.
How is Obama supposed to win outside of South Carolina ?
Illinois too.
What would people say if Bill or any spouse for that matter, wasn't out there supporting there spouses? "See, even their own husband/wife do not think they would make a good president." What do you people expect? It's okay for Michelle to speak for Barack, but God forbid if Bill speaks for Hillary. I would be very concerned if Bill was not out there doing his part to help Hillary
Blacks for the Clintons: Used and tossed.
We are nothing but votes for power to the Clintons.
The Clintons like us more than blacks now, because we outnumber them and we have a lot to learn before we know whom to trust.
You can't always trust the hand that feeds you after the same hand that hurts you first.
We came here not just for the jobs. We came here for democracy and no corruptions.
We don't need to make Queen Hillary and bring back what we tried to escape from in our old country.
Hispanics do not want to be associated with African Americans. So they will go towards the white candidate every chance given. This is in no way something that will boost the Hispanics own fight....immigration, etc.
Regardless, the Hispanics have not had any voice in government, legal or illegal, so it will be interesting to see if anything changes for them. Since the crack down on illegal immigrants is becoming more noticeable, I am willing to bet Hillary will not touch the issue.
Mexicans are racist like the KKK. This is not about Hispanics, but about Mexicans. They used black people to be their champions when they were the minority. Blacks fought for everyone's civil rights, and everyone benefited, including women. They supported Chevez in his fight for the Mexican farm workers, without hesitation. They had love and respect for Mexicans. True colors are showing now. Blacks were stupid, and were concerned and tried to help Mexicans. Now Mexicans are in the majority. They hate black people. Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Brazilians are not racist. Most of them have black blood flowing in their veins. However, once the Mexicans get any numbers about themselves, they show their true evil side. They are not too good with other Latinos from different countries as well. Because, they think these other Latins may have black genes. They are users. They marginalize brown and black people in their own countries. Do you ever see any blacks on Latin TV? They are behind the times and want to bring their self hatred and KKK attitudes to the US. It want fly here, because even the Southerners are done with those base attitudes. Mexican thinks they will eventually take over the entire country. In any case, Black Americans will not succumb like the Mexican racists have done to blacks in Mexico. Mexicans have shown who they really are. 9/ 10 Mexicans would never vote for a Black. There was a time when 9/10 blacks would have voted for a Mexican. But, Mexicans are going to need black support when it is time for them to get elected, or it is time for the illegal Mexicans to go back to Mexico. Obama is for everyone getting licenses , even illegals. You often need a license to work some jobs. Thank God, this is not Mexico. Blacks need to go back to the party of Lincoln, from whence they came, the Republicans. Let the Mexicans have the Democratic party, they are users, like the Mexicans.
