Dems trot out Hispanic celebrities to boost campaigns – Texas
Tagged: Barack Obama, George Lopez, Texas
The driving rain and the absence of a celebrity guest failed to dampen the enthusiasm of nearly 200 volunteers, who spent part of Saturday afternoon chanting “Sí, se puede!” (Yes, we can) inside Barack Obama’s Houston campaign headquarters.
The volunteers, who were being trained as precinct captains, strained forward in their folding chairs to listen to George Lopez, the Mexican-American comedian and actor, announce his support for Obama over a cell phone held up to a microphone.
“I’m throwing all my efforts to Senator Obama today,” said Lopez, who couldn’t make the session because of an aggravated knee. “If we want change, he’s the best candidate for change.”"*
