Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 When you read this, keep in mind what I have said about the coming amnesty before the next census. Hillary, Barack, want my vote? Just $20 million, pleaseMay 7, 3:45 PM (ET) LOS ANGELES (AP) - What will it take for a Democratic presidential candidate to win the support of California superdelegate Ybarra? Say, $20 million. The Democratic National Committee member doesn't parse his words when it comes to what he wants from Barack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton - an ironclad promise to spend that heady amount to register Mexican-American voters and get them to the polls in November. In a telephone interview Wednesday, he said he plans to remain undecided in the tight contest until "someone shows me the money." When will he settle on a candidate? "Nobody showed me any money yet," he said. He's not kidding. To Ybarra, a Sacramento lawyer, the stakes are no less than winning the presidency in November. He predicted that as many as 1.3 million Mexican-Americans could be added to voter rolls in New Mexico, Colorado, Florida and other swing states, a potentially decisive edge for the eventual Democratic nominee. With that investment of funds, Mexican-Americans would realize Democratic leaders "care about us," Ybarra said, referring to Mexican-Americans. Is $20 million a lot to ask? In 2004, "they spent a billion to lose," he said. Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food.
