Hinojosa coordinating with Democratic leaders tonight Leading Hidalgo County Democrats and campaign contributors are meeting tonight to plan for a possible visit by Teresa Heinz Kerry to the Rio Grande Valley in early October.
Tonight's meeting, organized by U.S. Rep. Rubén Hinojosa (D-Mercedes), takes place at the Cornerstone Grill in Edinburg, Border Buzz has learned.
Valley Democrats view a visit by Heinz Kerry, wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, as a substitute for a campaign swing by vice presidential candidate John Edwards that never happened.
Edwards was due to visit McAllen in July for an event organized by Kerry's top Texas strategist Ben Barnes. Valley Democratic leaders said a last minute scheduling conflict stopped Edwards from coming. Hinojosa vowed at the time to get Kerry or Edwards to the Valley at some point during the campaign. With the focus now on battleground states, a visit by Heinz Kerry may be the best Valley Democrats can expect.
groannnnnn
YES! Toonces will get to participate in a Freep!

eeewwwwww... you poor people in Texas. I would pray for you, but I'm busy praying for the Haiti and S.E. US hurricane victims.
Yeah, Terazza really represents the values of Hispanic women.
If you send her to a swing state, it'll hurt you.
If you send her to a safe state, she'll hurt turnout.
If you send her to a state you've already lost, no problem.
I would like to meet her... take her a "scumbag" and tell her to SHOVE IT!
Are we sure they are meeting in Texas? I mean,,the Texas democrats have a tendency to run out of state when it gets a little hot here.
Good Lord what did we do to deserve that? As if they have a snowball's chance in hell to compete in Texas.
Doesn't matter where they send her, if they can't duct-tape her mouth, she'll still cause bleeding for Lurch's campaign.
That's OK, she came to Arizona and told us she didn't care about the State. LOL!
Good point. They also sent her to Arizona, where they've pulled advertising.
Ardmore, OK. Home of Texas chicken D's.
"Yeah, Terazza really represents the values of Hispanic women."
This is really a business trip for TeRAYza. She's gonna tell those Hispanic women to pick them tomaters faster, or else. She will tell them that they can work faster without clothing, she will say that any scumbag who won't work harder for ketchup production can shove it, because they're un-American.
Here's that connection between the RatherUSATodayAP Papers, Burkett, Congressman Hinojosa and Lucy Ramirez again.
Let her go visit Reynosa, I hear they have a great police force there for protection....
You are going to have too. I'm not freeping her by myself . I finally found a republican around here yesterday but he's 80 and not familar with FR (yet:')
South Texas is Gore Country!
They could have had the Breck Girl, but they get Das Bitch instead.
OMG. Hide the silverware.
Is that the same Ben Barnes interviewed by Rather?
Unfortunately that part of Texas is Dem country. Always has been, probably always will be. BUT, the rest of Texas is BUSH country, so don't worry.
I'm here, and I thought I was the only one!
$1 says that she says something stupid, or insulting, or both.
They are sending her here because there is no way they are going to carry Texas. So when she screws up and says something stupid, and she will, it won't hurt the campaign. But it gives her something to do.
Yes. Oh, did Dan Blather forget to mention that Ben Barnes is a Vice Chair, contributor, fundraiser and top Texas strategist for John Kerry's campaign?
That boy sure is getting forgetful in his old age.
No ketchup for you!
Can you add three very tiny red dots at the tip.
make that 4! :')
Yeah but many are to the right dems.
If you look real hard, you can see the little red dots and there are more than 4! Anybody want to start a South Texas Ping List?
TERESA HEINZ KERRY MAY VISIT VALLEY
(SOUTH TEXAS) Hinojosa coordinating with Democratic leaders tonight Leading Hidalgo County Democrats and campaign contributors are meeting tonight to plan for a possible visit by Teresa Heinz Kerry to the Rio Grande Valley in early October.Well, well, well! Come on down, TeRAYza !!!
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas ping list!. . .don't be shy.
No, you don't HAVE to be a Texan to get on this list!
Full Texas Ping List
Get out the aerosol spray, liberal DNA!
wonder if she's gonn a have the same kind of "glowing" remarks about Texas as she had for Arizona?
Well, she will be going into dimocrap territory. She'd get a big welcome in liberal Austin, too. I hope our South Texas FReepers will greet her.
haha!The part of Texas she may go to is the Liberal LaLa Land of Texas.
Voter fraud/corruption center of Texas .....
But then again, she could do much to push then towards GWB, HEH! HEH! HEH!
Maybe they will slip her a Mickey from the Rio Grande.It cerently couldn't hurt her,she already on the sauce. So it seems.
I can't imagine a woman more out of touch with south Texas than THK. She'll probably lose more votes for John than she'll cement.
Aw, let's buck up. If you think about it, this is downright pitiful. She's relegated to campaigning in a small area of our state where her investment of time isn't going to do anything for her husband's dismal chances of being elected. The collective pea brain running the Kerry campaign certainly doesn't want to turn her and her mouth loose in a swing state. There's nothing she can say or do to take Texas away from W.
VIVA BUSH!
The Democrat presidential candidates always come here. Clinton, Gore and even Hillary all came down here several times.
When Gore was here, IIRC, he didn't particularly care for the food. I think it was Texas bar-b-que and texmex food. He gave some excuse for diet food. We'll see if Teresa takes a plate to go.
Surely, Spanish is one of the 5 languages that Teresa speaks. Maybe her speech will be in Spanish.
"if they can't duct-tape her mouth"
As far as I'm concerned, there is no duct tape left in the entire U.S.A. to shut her up. Thank Goodness!
I'm sure Eff'in is looking for some, but sorry... there was some trade dispute with Canada involving rotten potatoes or softwood lumber or some such thing ... and Canada got all the duct tape. :) Hoo-yah!
/Friday night weirdness off. For now. :)
I wonder if his current "woman" would want him to be her guardian when they marry?
I hope our South Texas FReepers will greet her.I hope so too!
If I only had a brain!
Some of the dems in my area of Texas are so insane with hatred of President Bush, they really think they can win Texas.
"No, you don't HAVE to be a Texan to get on this list"
Hey, MeekOneGOP--I won't ask to be on this ping list, but I just wanted to say, I had the great good fortune to live in Texas for about six months in my misspent youth, when I was about 21 or so. :)
I've never met friendlier people anywhere. :)
Although my North Carolina boyfriend didn't like the Texas barbecue. ;)

"organized by Kerry's top Texas strategist Ben Barnes. Valley Democratic leaders said a last minute scheduling conflict"
Yeah, it's the same Ben Barnes. He was too busy in July making up forgeries about Bush's guard service to show up in the valley.
hehe!Well, many native Texans are friendly. :^D
Texas Bar-B-Q is the best. Even my own modest BBQ is good.
At least my wife and SIL tell me so. :^)
