Clinton, Obama Rallies in New York This Weekend

Barack Obama’s campaign will hold a women’s rally at Columbus circle at noon tomorrow.

An hour later, Hillary Clinton supporters gather for a rally at Union Square.

And then there's the "Latinos for Hillary" rally tomorrow night, in Inwood, hosted by Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion and Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez.

There are plenty of competing theories on how the Latino vote will swing on Tuesday throughout the country. Some say Clinton's position on immigration will hurt her. Others, like the Clinton pollster quoted at the end of this New Yorker article, say Hispanic voters historically have not supported black candidates.

And then there's New York's Latinos:

A new poll released by The Hispanic Federation finds Senator Hillary Clinton enjoys a 50-point lead over Senator Barack Obama among registered Latino Democrats and Latino Democratic-leaning voters (66% to 16%), with John Edwards receiving minimal support at 2%.
