Youth Plays Big Role in Obama's Victory (3/3)

"A lot of people in the Latino community just remember what the Clintons did in the 1990's, in terms of jobs and economic growth and things like that, I think that is why they are placing their support with the Clintons. I think a lot of them still do not know a lot about Barack Obama, but my hope is that once they do learn about Barack Obama they will see that he is the right choice."

Gonzalez says she and other young Hispanics are backing Obama because they see him as the best option for the future and they are trying to convince others to do the same.

Hillary Clinton and former Senator John Edwards have their own appeals to youthful voters, but Clinton, in particular, has run a campaign that relies more on support from unions and traditional Democratic constituencies. She also has shown great strength in attracting votes from women. On February 5, voters in 22 states and American Samoa will have their chance to decide which of the candidates has the most appeal.

“许多拉丁社区的人只记得克林顿在90年代的政绩，即关于工作、经济增长以及类似的事情。那是他们支持克林顿夫妇的原因。我认为他们中很多人不了解巴拉克•奥巴马，但我希望一旦他们对巴拉克•奥巴马有更多的了解，他们会认为奥巴马才是正确的选择。”

冈萨雷斯说她和其他西班牙裔年轻人支持奥巴马是因为他们认为奥巴马是未来最好的选择，并且他们努力使其他人也这样想。

希拉里·克林顿和前参议员约翰·爱德华兹都能赢得年轻人的选票。但希拉里的竞选班子更多地仰仗工会和传统民主党派选民来展开竞选活动。同时她还具有赢得女性选票的优势。2月5日，22个州和美属太平洋群岛的选民将有机会决定哪个才是最有吸引力的候选人。
