Canseco should be a no-brainer for TX-23. It’s a 63% Hispanic district, and nominating a black Anglo from San Antonio won’t win us votes from wavering Mexican-Americans in Eagle Pass or Del Rio. Canseco is a Mexican-American originally from Laredo and won the seat in 2010 before being defeated in 2012; he’d give us our best shot of winning it back.

In TX-36, I’d prefer Streusand, at least partly because I think that he would just keep the seat warm for when James White runs in 2016 (Babin is from the same area as White and might block his nomination).

Perhaps because Babin is from White's neck of the woods, White has endorsed him. So I guess he wouldn't run against him. It's a shame that little weasel Stockman screwed everyone over in a lame attempt to get his staffer's wife or whoever it was, nominated in his place.
