I live in Harris County, with the big help of minorities we have voted Democratic in the past few years. It probably happened with Barack Obama running and hopefully we can gather once again to pull victories for the Democratic party.

It would be great if Texas sent blue to the Congress & Senate too! A real Democratic team down to state and local office too!

This article made me smile http://www.rawstory.com/2015/10/clinton-names-rising-dem-standout-julian-castro-as-prospective-vp-pick/

Clinton and the other Democrats in the November 2016 race for the White House have pushed hard for support among Hispanics, a fast-growing and critical voting bloc that has moved toward Democrats in recent elections as Republicans have stymied comprehensive immigration reform in Congress and disparaged Mexican immigrants on the campaign trail.

“I am going to look really hard at him for anything, because that’s how good he is,” Clinton said at a U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce meeting in San Antonio, Texas, when asked if Castro might be her vice presidential pick.

Parachuting into San Antonio to pick up an endorsement from Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, who is often mentioned as a possible running mate, Clinton rallied supporters and went deep on policy in a session with the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. During the short visit, she put on full display how deep and durable are her ties with one of the most important voting blocs in the nominating contest.[/i]

Castro is the Latino version of Barack Obama - same temperament, calm, disarming smile, good looks, and intelligence. He would make the perfect VP running mate!
