The article says that Hillary will get the support of Texas Hispanics. It fails to mention why Hispanics will not vote for Obama. We all know why.

Anyhow, I thought all the Texas Democrats moved to the Holiday Inn in Ardmore.

I’m not Hispanic and I’m not Black, but I’ve decided to vote for Obama, and here’s why. It’s because nothing would raise the blood of the GOP quite like having a Clinton to go after. And because the Republicans and their neocon leaders have screwed up this country 8 ways from Sunday, why give them a reason to forget their failings. Run Obama, I say; I know they’re gonna trash him, but the good people in the GOP (and I believe there are many) know that their party doesn’t deserve to run things any longer.

How many votes will Obama get with this flag hanging in his Houston campaign headquarters?

Long Memory, please list the 8 ways from Sunday that have been screwed, Thanks.

Obama has good Judgement, He has more experience and he plays the game fair and square.

It is time that we had a President that brings back respectability to the WHiteHouse.

That is why Obama brings in new people, Independents and Republicans.
He makes sense, he is of good Character and he has good judgement.
He wants the job…
I say we give it to him.

Elect Obama in 08!

Question? Can any and all registered voters, vote in the Texas primary. Do you just show up and choose what party you want to vote for?

Texas has an open primary. You need to register to vote, but you don’t have to register with a particular party.

As far as dub, who wanted to know the 8 ways the Bush regime has screwed up the country.
1. Iraq
2. Guantamano
3. Shredding the Constitution
4. Ballooning deficits
5. Loss of reputation in the world community
6. Homeless veterans
8. Katrina response

I could go on… and on and on and on, but you only asked for eight.

I’m supporting Obama for the same reason as Long Memory

I am Hispanic and WILL vote for Obama, and so have several members of my family who live in NY, Florida and California
