I doubt Kirk has a chance of surviving the Democrat primary. I think it will be Morales or Bentsen. We had better hope that it's that loser Bentsen, because if Sanchez and Morales are on the ticket for the general election, it will boost hispanic turnout.

One interesting development is that hispanics have an excellent shot at helping to elect the next mayor of Houston on December 1. Although he's Cuban, Orlando Sanchez is staunch conservative and is drawing most of the hispanic support.

The trick will be getting them to continue to vote for conservatives in 2002.

Right. Bentsen would lose, but Morales is also damaged goods. He can brag about the tobacco settlement, but he'll have to explain to the voters why his trial lawyer buddies got all the dough. Still, Hispanics would vote for him. I still wish they had put Bonilla on the ticket.

Wrong. The trick is to keep them from finding out that Sanchez is Cuban. Mexicans hate Cubans.
