Paul Rodriguez, a comedian and political activist with strong ties to the Latino community, endorsed Meg Whitman's gubernatorial bid today.
Rodriguez, whose political activity is centered in the Central Valley, chairs the California Latino Water Coalition, a group closely aligned with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger that was active during last year's water policy debates.
The endorsement comes one day after a poll conducted for the Los Angeles Times and the University of Southern California showed Democratic nominee Jerry Brown leading Whitman among Latinos by 19 points.
Rodriguez called Whitman an "independent thinking candidate who is committed to what we care about most: jobs and education" in a statement released by the campaign. He also praised her efforts to reach out to Latino voters; though she trailed Brown in the recent poll, Whitman is thought to be outperforming expectations for a Republican courting the Democrat-leaning voting bloc.

Paul Rodriguez has seen how the Environmental Nut Jobs that the Democrats are beholden to are hurting everyday working stiffs off all ethnic backgrounds. He’s been on Hannity several times.
George Lopez is a diehard Hussein cultist.
Nice to know Paul Rodriguez is at least halfway sane. ;)
I figured he would, he is pissed at the democrats over the Central Valley water issue, turned him from a democrat almost overnight.

This is a good thing. I remember Hannity and Rodriguez at a big rally regarding this.
With Prop 19 tilting things toward the libs in CA I was hoping Rodriguez would endorse Whitman and Fiorina and help tilt it back the other way with the Hispanic vote, if they can run the Central Valley into the GOP column they “might” stand a chance.
Will this help out there?
Good point.
