I recently sat down with former Bush administration Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, the first Hispanic in our nation's history to serve in such a post. In our exclusive interview for Fox News Latino, Gonzales cautioned Mitt Romney against picking an Hispanic vice president as he prepares for the Republican Party convention and the November election.
Gonzales, who has endorsed Romney, said he doubts that "Hispanics are going to support Governor Romney simply because he puts [Florida Senator] Marco Rubio on the ticket or any other Hispanic on the ticket."
The former Texas Supreme Court Judge concedes Republican Party's rhetoric during the primaries was "harsh" on immigration "and hurt the party with respect to bringing Hispanics on board."
Gonzales suggested that the best way for Romney to repair relations with Latino voters, who currently give more than 60 percent of their vote to President Obama, is through sincere outreach program based on economic policies that will help Hispanics.
