"PHILADELPHIA - Democratic and Republican leaders touted their parties' records on inclusion Tuesday, courting voters at the annual conference of a Hispanic civil rights group. In a sign of the growing political clout of Hispanics, the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee chairmen both appeared at the event for the first time.
"There's a lot of talk about which party Hispanics in this country are most likely to affiliate with," DNC chairman Howard Dean said. "This is a party that will give opportunities for elected officials in politics to Latinos and Hispanics." Dean, who peppered his speech with Spanish, said, "Free trade is good, but fair trade is better. We must have worker protection."-from the AP story tonight that tries to be very "fair and balanced."
