There's a new phenomenon in Washington: the Hispanic Super PAC, which aims to give political voice to the nation's fastest-growing demographic.
Two have cropped up since the beginning of the year. Another that formed as a regular PAC in 2010 has relaunched as a Super PAC, expanding its efforts from a single House district to 15. And at least one other Hispanic PAC is considering making the leap to Super PAC status.
Some are liberal, some conservative. Some plan to target House and Senate races, others the presidential race. All share the belief that they are uniquely positioned to empower Hispanics in a way that the political parties have not and cannot.
Joseph Birkenstock, former chief counsel for the DNC who has also advised Stephen Colbert's Super PAC, said the phenomenon could help the Hispanic community achieve its goals quicker than African-Americans, who faced a lag of more than a century between the Civil War and their community's emergence as a potent political force.
"Happily, it's not going to take that long for the Hispanic community to find its voice," he said.
