A white Republican candidate for a high judgeship that a Republican had never held in his state attended a LULAC candidates meeting. The Hispanic Democrat incumbent and his black primary challenger were asked all the questions and the Republican was ignored.
At the end of the session the moderator asked the candidates if they had anything to add. The Republican spoke for the first time and said "Does anyone have any question for me?" An audience member responded "Yeah, why did you come here?" The Republican answered "Because you invited me."
The black democrat defeated the Hispanic incumbent in the Democrat primary and the Republican made history by becoming the first Republican elected to such a court in the history of that state. True story.
Hmmm...
