Chris Kelly notes that if a person of non-color talked like George Lopez did while urging Latino voters to support Barack Obama, he/she would be run out of town on a rail.

Hollywood television celebrity and popular comedian George Lopez brought U.S. Sen. Barack Obama’s message of hope and change Wednesday afternoon to an estimated 1,200 potential young voters at the University of Texas at El Paso.

“It is the time of the Latino, your time to step up, your time to take this country over,” Lopez said, eliciting applause. “But si se puede doesn’t mean anything unless you go out and make it happen.”

Meanwhile, the Hillary camp courts Latinos with this: “”Vóte por Mamá, no Obama!” (Vote for Mama, not Obama!).”
