(CNN) - TIME magazine's cover story, which hit the newsstand Thursday, argues that Latino voters will cast the deciding vote in the upcoming election.
After watching the Republican candidates lock the kryptonite that is the immigration issue around their necks during the Arizona debate, my bet is that President Barack Obama could win another term - even if he loses key swing states such as Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin - but he must make sure he accomplishes one thing first: Connect with Latinos.

Doesn't anyone wonder why there are no pictures of Obama before he was President, all Presidents have a past,pictues of their weddings,pictures of their children when they were babies,pictures of Obama in college,at a dance,no other women in his life....I find this very odd...no one asks him about his past ,his college days, who was his best man at his wedding?, the most important day of his life and eveything is sealed about his past....does the movie Manchurian Candidate mean anything to anyone?
A landslide? Thatd be a very rocky situation!
I I was hoping to see sarah palin become the next president of the united states. I would have so much fun watching news everyday. disappointed!
