of times before. They've been elected on mostly a conservative white voting bloc thanks to gerrymandering. And they've been defeated several times too. The problem is that Hispanics voters don't take to the polls in numbers overwhelming enough to make a difference and the re-districting has played hell in diluting our votes as well. If he's for the cut-taxes-for-the-rich and caters to the extreme right, he won't make it far with Hispanics. And he'll have to appease the tea-baggers, who are crazier than most down here. Saying you're Hispanic, speaking Spanish, and having a purdy face doesn't immediately open doors for you with us. The 1500s are pretty far back, but our memories are still long enough to remember Malinche.
