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.
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.
