This is what the Repub party banks on. They find extremists with spanish names, banking on hispanics not being the wiser about who these clowns are, and voting for the spanish name. The clown running keeps a low profile, sort of, so that he doesn't generate news indicating he's a tea partier. So only those who really spend a lot of time on politics know who these clowns are.

It seems to work, so far. The Dems will have to do a better job identifying these clowns in the future.
