When Romney thinks calling them illegals is an endearing term. That's some charm offensive.

that the more he tries to appeal to a certain segment of the electorate, the more he drives them away.

to disenfranchise the Latino vote. If they can suppress enough Hispanic voters, they may pull this thing out.

8. Romney's stupidity

Now that the story is out about the Univision interview, he will probably lose even more Latino votes. How stupid can Romney be to insult the Latinos on the most watched Latino show...

I think he snubbed the Univision hosts and they are taking every opportunity to talk about Romney's tantrum, hauling extra people to the venue to fill it up, refusing to come out unless they re-taped the introduction, saying illegal "aliens". I've seen the Univision female host at least 3 times in just one day as a guest as well as the male host on FOX.

I thought for sure that would swing the Latino vote Romney's way!
