Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
SALINAS, Calif., Jan. 23 (UPI) -- A Hispanic audience in California warmly greeted presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., despite her apparent lack of Spanish language skills.
A predominately Hispanic crowd greeted Clinton with chants of "Si se puede," which translates to "Yes, it can be done," as she accepted the endorsement of the Cesar Chavez' United Farm Workers union, The New York Times said Wednesday.
Clinton politely nodded as the crowd chanted, finally chiming in with "Si se pueda is right," which the Times said is nonsensical.
The error and demographic didn't stop Clinton from her campaign platform on immigration, however.
Clinton told the audience her priority on immigration reform was tightening border security -- a platform met with only mild applause.
Hispanic caucus-goers in Nevada gave Clinton the victory there and her campaign is relying on that demographic to back her in the California and New York primaries.
