Gilberto Ocanas, a longtime Democratic operative in Texas, saw his favorite presidential aspirant, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, fade out of the race. Now he’s aboard with Sen. Barack Obama — and firing a shot across the bow of Sen. Hillary Clinton, who’s counting on Latino voters to stick with her in Texas.
Ocanas issued a statement Monday stating: “This March, Texas Democratic presidential primary provides us with a unique opportunity to make our voices heard throughout this country. My own history of working with the late Willie Velasquez founder of Southwest Voter Registration Education Project throughout the Southwest was always based on breaking new ground. We always struggled against the establishment be it Anglo or Hispanic. The key was to open up the process to have more participation of those who felt disenfranchised. The principle was to create a coalition who would put the interests of opportunity for everyone first and self interest second.”*
