Bilingual Blogs and Their Influence on the Hispanic Vote

From California to New York, Hispanic bloggers are speaking up in ways that could influence Latino voters' decisions just as their votes are becoming more relevant in this year's presidential race. A prominent feature of these blogs is their ability to jump freely between Spanish and English. Bloggers at Adventures of Coconut caucus have come on strong with their bilingual headlines. The blogs' bilingual, bicultural character mirrors how Hispanic voters see the election. Hispanic bloggers are also passionately discussing the racial issues that erupted during the Democratic contest in Nevada, when the first appreciably Latino electorate cast its vote.
