BATTLEGROUND CANDIDATE. Dr. Richard Carmona is considered the top Democratic Latino candidate in the 2012 elections. Running for U.S. Senate for the State of Arizona, Dr. Carmona was Surgeon General of the United States under President George W. Bush. This edition offers an exclusive interview with Dr. Carmona, after his speech to the convention of the National Council of La Raza.

ALSO, ROMNEY AND LA RAZA. Republican candidate for president, Mitt Romney, failed to show up at the conference of the National Council of La Raza, the nation's oldest Latino civil rights organization. Instead, Romney sent a video, in which he did not mention immigration, unemployment, or other issues important to Latino voters. News director Samuel Orozco interviews top Latino Romney supporter, Héctor Barreto, about what this absence means.
