The point I was making was that most of the voting public probably has no idea that Richardson is Latino because he doesn't have a Latino name and he doesn't look particularly Latino. I don't doubt that many of those who are aware that he's Latino won't vote for him for that reason.

Oh, and the 'Penny > Lane'/'Strawberry Fields' single. > Desire and Slow Train Coming are two of my favorites. Dare I say Dylan was better in the '70's? Well, maybe not, but still damned good. As for the Beatles, Sgt. Peppers through Abbey Road is post-66. The definition of the Beatles to me.
