HRC's camp seems to be putting all her eggs into the TX Hispanic vote basket
Dallas' repuke rag is playing up the Hispanic/AA race card game in TX:


http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/021008dnpolhispvote.3a7ea5e.html

In more than 30 years of political organizing in South Texas, and with four trips in the past 16 months, the Clintons could write chapter and verse about the Rio Grande Valley. Barack Obama, who has never been south of San Antonio, is just opening the cover. And that very fact could help determine the outcome of Texas' March 4 primary fight between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama.

Complicating Mr. Obama's task is long-standing political competition among black and Hispanic political leaders that may make it tougher for a black candidate to win Hispanic voters.

Illustrating that tension, last week, Jesse Diaz – president of the Dallas-area League of United Latin American Citizens – suggested on a Dallas blog that Latinos will respond to Mr. Obama with the same "distaste" that some black leaders in Dallas have shown toward Hispanics.

"If you look at polling on how warm or cold Latinos feel toward a certain person or concept, Bill Clinton ranks ahead of the Catholic Church," Mr. Anchía said.

... a big opportunity for genuine change for that community. TO see him as just black is not strictly true. Si se Puede!

4. LOL! How many of them are illegals with fake ID? Work for America!*
Just like in Nevada!

Someone in my family was dating an illegal which didn't come out until after they went to split up. Fake ID and most of her family is illegal, working for the big casinos in LV were the caucus was held. Caucused for Hillary.

Thank you very much, Harry Reid!

5. Interesting how this info hit the news the same day that
HRC replaces her top level Hispanic worker....maybe they realize that they have gotten too cocky taking the Hispanic population for granted and want to "fix" the problem before they send their people to TX? Whatever the reason, there has to be some sort of connection.
