Romney And McCain, ‘Hispanic’ Candidates? (Washington Post)
When Bill Richardson canceled his presidential bid, wags in the Latino blogosphere did not mourn the lack of other Hispanic contenders. They still had the “Mexican-American” and the “Panamanian” vying for the GOP nomination.
Those hombres would be Mitt Romney and John McCain.
A blog called Adventures of the Coconut Caucus had fun consoling readers thus: “But do not worry, there is still a Mexican-American left in the race, Mitt Romney . . . and of course we still have Panamanian John McCain, who is actually not doing as bad as he was, and could, with a constitutional change, become the first Central American President of the United States.”
