Hillary's chances in winning Texas are increasingly higher than her opponent. Polls have indicated that a third to half of the voters casting ballots in Texas's primary are expected to be Latinos. And results have shown that Clinton has outpulled Obama 2 to 1 among Hispanic voters nationwide.
Hillary Clinton is not a stranger to Latinos in Texas. According to "The Tipping Point in Texas" Newsweek article today, "In 1972 Clinton went door to door in Texas border towns registering Hispanic voters for George McGovern's campaign. She then strengthened her ties to the Rio Grande Valley region when Bill became governor of the neighboring state of Arkansas, when he ran for president, and when her old friends in this area hosted $1,000-a-plate fund-raisers for her Senate campaign."
Since her arrival in Texas she has been working hard to meet and greet everyone that crosses her path. On Tuesday she met in El Paso with 12,000 fans she emphasized "Texas needs a president who actually understands what it's going to take to turn the economy around, to get us universal health care, to save hard-working Americans' homes from foreclosure." On Wednesday she visited McAllen, a border town surrounded that is 90 percent Hispanic. U.S. Representative Ruben Hinojosa introduced Senator Clinton to the crowd, he said "She has been a champion of our community for over 30 years. She did not discover McAllen on the map when it came time to run for president." Clinton can expect "overwhelming" support from South Texas Hispanics, Hinojosa predicts. "She has friends here, and she knows the issues we care about."
Clinton has personally touched "Tejanos" lives in various ways and she will be victorious on March 4!
Please take some time to view her new TV ad aimed at Spanish-speaking Texans that calls Hillary "nuestra amiga."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQdsy15ncpM
