Yahoo News posts an AP article "Young Latino voters on the rise" that focuses on young Latinos and their involvement in the presidential election. It quotes our good friend Maria Teresa Petersen and cites the work that Voto Latino has been conducting to engage and mobilize young Latinos in the electoral process.

For years, Hispanics have lagged behind other voters in their political clout, in part because so many of them were under 18.

But now, 400,000 U.S.-born Latinos a year are joining the voting-age population by turning 18. More than 5 million Latino citizens, either U.S.-born or naturalized, were ages 18 to 29 as of September 2007, according to the Pew Hispanic Center.

Yahoo News also posts a good article on how the Texas Primary/Caucus system will work. For those of us who are still confused about the process, learn more by reading here or by watching this video clip courtesy of CBS affiliate KHOU.
