(CNN) — Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has received the endorsement of the nation’s largest Hispanic Republican group.
Somos Republicans, which says it has a membership of 6,000 people, issued a statement Monday saying the former speaker of the House “knows the importance of the Latino community” and “has been working hard for many years to include American Hispanics in the overall conversation for a better America.”
“We believe Speaker Gingrich is the most Hispanic-friendly candidate in the race,” Steve Rodriguez, a spokesman for the group, told CNN in a phone interview from Colorado.
Gingrich has made a concerted effort reaching to South Carolina Latinos ahead of Saturday’s primary in that state.
This is good news for Gingrich, but will it be enough. I was unaware of the very existance of this group. I don’t know how much influence they will have. I admit that I am feeling depressed about the direction the polls seem to be going in. We’ll know in five days.
