TERESA HEINZ KERRY MAY VISIT VALLEY (SOUTH TEXAS)
Quorum Report Border Buzz ^ | September 20, 2004 | Harvey Kronberg

Posted on 09/24/2004 12:56:44 PM PDT by SwinneySwitch

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.

Good idea for the Kerry campaign.

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.

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.

Doesn't matter where they send her, if they can't duct-tape her mouth, she'll still cause bleeding for Lurch's campaign.

Good point. They also sent her to Arizona, where they've pulled advertising.

"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.
