The democRAT party has been pushing hard for Kirk.

Their "dream team" is Kirk (a black) for Senator and Sanchez (an hispanic) for Governor. That way all of the black racists (i.e., blacks who will vote for a candidate based solely on the color of his skin) and hispanic racists (hispanics who will vote for a candidate based solely on the color of his skin) will be motivated to get out and vote.

Tony Sanchez is white.

Kirk has put out an all-out telephone barrage in the last few days. I have received (recorded) phone calls from Ann Richards; Emmitt Smith and three from Kirk.

I would guess that with the computer dialing and the computer message that this is a cost effective way to campaign.

The other dude had no money and not much organization. If he wins it will be an interesting tribute to the power of the Mexican vote.

Thanks everyone. Your explanations are great. I really do understand what you're saying (I'm in California and it kind of sounds like the LA Mayor race). I'm somewhat relieved to find it's just a primary.
