Any word on Senfronia, KT? (0.00 / 0)

Press releases for the Houston Obama Volunteer HQ opening had her listed as a supporter, but I'd swear she pledged to Hillary last year sometime.

Yes I'd like to know too (0.00 / 0)

There are two conflicting pieces of information out there.  No one says she can't switch.

Rep Gallegos (0.00 / 0)

"I made a determination that it's time to pass the mantle on to a new set of folks at the national level."

"Obama's life story and his values are so much closer to the Latino community than any candidate other than Bill Richardson."

"Part of what drives me is his life story. It's a fascinating life story. It's more than just the issues, it's his values. I think Hispanics and South Texas should really be able to relate to him."

For a blog that says "he is the most respected Latino leader in Texas" (0.00 / 0)

you think they would know that his last name is spelled "Gallego" ... not Gallegos.

Of course, it was a mix up between Pete Gallego and Mario Gallegos.

Gallegos, whose courageous stand to stop the Voter ID bill last session will always be remembered, has in fact endorsed Hillary Clinton.

apologies for my mistake (0.00 / 0)

I remember reading the story Sunday at the Rio Grande Guardian.

Currently, their front page is running:

The Guardian would like to apologize to our readers for any inconvenience caused Monday. Our story on state Rep. Pete Gallego's endorsement of Barack Obama attracted 2.3 million hits. This caused our site to crash. Thanks again for making the Guardian the most popular border newspaper.

I should have read the blog I linked more carefully.  My apologies to Rep. Gallego as well. And thanks for endorsing Obama.

so I guess (0.00 / 0)

Kirk Watson doesn't believe in mandates?

He will advocate for universal health care that works and makes sense.

I do agree that possibility is the key word for Obama.  He could be either JFK or Jimmy Carter.  Let's hope the former.
