“Latino voters matter like never before, especially in Texas. They make up a quarter of the Texas electorate and are about 3.6 million strong. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is thought to have a strong edge with the group leading up to the March 4 Democratic primary, though many Latinos, particularly younger voters, seem to be giving Mr. Obama a serious look.

Mr. Obama will face voters like Jesse García, 36, and his 65-year-old mother, Lupita, who seem unshakeable in their loyalty to Mrs. Clinton.

“Hispanics are brand-loyal, and Hillary is tested,” said the Dallas man. “Barack is courageous … but Hillary’s time is now. Who can say she is not about change? How can you say that ending 220 years of male domination in the White House is not change?”"*
