More On Homeland Security's Health System

The Washington Post, fresh from a Pulitizer Prize for its coverage of the neglect of wounded Iraq returnees at Walter Reade Hospital, is now taking on a series about health care -- or the absence thereof -- in the detention centers of ICE.

Both Obama and McCain are viewed as generally friendly, but the Latino community had perceived some back sliding in the early primaries. Any other Republican would have written off Hispanics, but McCain assumes their vote is in play.
