About 100,000 votes separated Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) after 36 million Democratic voters, voted in the primaries. Senator Barack Obama became the official nominee after Clinton’s concession speech. The question now arises whether Clinton supporters will back Obama. Another question is whether Latinos will back him after voting for Clinton by overwhelming margins in the primary.

Longtime labor activist and Hillary supporter, Eva Savala said she would definitely vote for Obama. “Not only is he the Democratic choice. In essence, his programs represent what most of us Democrats believe in. Hillary was my first choice but I’m a team player,” she said.<\/p>\n

Savala also said that she would love to see Hillary Clinton as the vice presidential nominee. “She was the first woman to reach that status and encouraged a lot of other women. She’s my hero,” Savala said about Clinton.<\/p>

On the other side, Senator Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), Al Gore’s vice-presidential candidate in 2004 has endorsed Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.).  Lieberman’s been reaching out to Clinton supporters on behalf of McCain. On John McCain’s website, his campaign issued a press release that he will start airing Spanish language ads in the southwest.<\/p>\n

Obama and McCain are scheduled to take part in the Unity Journalists of Color presidential candidates’ forum that will broadcast live on CNN Thursday, July 24 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. where minority journalists will get to ask both Obama and McCain questions. <\/p>\n
