How About a Presidential Debate on a Latino Network?
This year the list of journos and anchors that will host presidential debates is lilly white. There’s ton of buzz around the influence of the Latino vote in this year’s election but apparently the Commission on Presidential Debates is not seeing the daily stories on the subject.
