The Republicans are slowly chipping away at Democrats' formidable lead with Latino voters.

Danielle explores some of the theories about why this is happening.

She also looks at a national "don't-say-gay" bill. House Republicans have introduced a bill that would prohibit federal funds from being used to support any 'sexually-oriented' programs, events, and literature for children under 10; ban federal facilities from hosting or promoting such events or literature; and allow parents and guardians to sue government officials, agencies and private entities if a child under 10 is 'exposed' to such materials.

Danielle says it has very little chance of passing in this Congress.
