Clinton Camp Looks To Latino Supporters To Get Out The Vote – Texas

The other strand is congeniality. Hispanics for Clinton are out in force, and they color her campaign with an infectious brio and are seemingly oblivious to how the odds of winning the nomination are not in their candidate’s favor. This positive spirit is a powerful asset to the Clinton Campaign that it otherwise likely would not have at this point. Hence the atmosphere at the Clinton party, where the turnout (250 or so) is half Hispanic. “Hillary is our lady,” Angie Ortiz says. “I love her husband, too,” says Dave Morales. “She helped start the Texas Chips [SCHIP: the State Children's Health Insurance Program]. She’s been there,” Lisa Alvarado says. In talking to a hundred or so Tejanos over the last few days, I’ve heard the SCHIP program mentioned again and again as a reason for supporting her. But in the end, it’s experience. Almost every single Clinton supporter, of all ethnicities, mentions “experience.” Tejanos seldom bring up Obama. Anglos, however, are forthright in their criticisms of him, and several have flagged his refusal to debate in Wisconsin as a reason for doubting him.”*
