That's correct. Hispanics here in TX are not a Democrat "lock." They do trend 50/50 between the Pubs and the RATS.
If they even vote at all. Tony Sanchez only managed slightly over 60% of Hispanics that voted in the gubernatorial race last year, but the Hispanic turnout was abysmal. President Bush might win over 50% of Hispanics in Texas next year. Too bad conservatives in California don't really care about winning (better to stick to principle and lose, right?) or George W. Bush might do something similar with the Hispanic vote there as well next year, possibly even winning their state.
