In Central Oregon, the Hispanic community has doubled over the last seven years. In Idaho, Canyon County east of Boise is now 20 percent Latino. All of this is evidence of the growing influence of Latinos in the Northwest. But will this growing population turn out to elect a president this November? Both Obama and McCain hope so.
