Thanks for the ping.
Did you see where the Austin American Statesman editorial went after Barrientos endorsed an Hispanic woman over Doggett?
http://www.statesman.com/opinion/content/auto/epaper/editions/monday/editorial_f3ff1b7cd1b102381061.html It seems that the AAS isn't really all that interested in minorities and minority candidates, after all - just *their kind* of Democrat.
""The senator's public reason for endorsing Hinojosa seemed to come down to this: She's a qualified Hispanic in a majority Hispanic district who grew up poor like many of the district's voters. Hinojosa makes much of the fact that she speaks Spanish; Doggett does not.""
