Canseco vs. Larson: The Decision We Face.

February 4, 2008

I think my friend Joe Solis over with South Texas Republicans couldn’t have said it better about the Canseco-Larson Showdown in Bexar County.

The district is 65% Hispanic.

Does anybody really believe the Southside of San Antonio and South Texas Latino voters are going to vote for Lyle Larson?  It is makes no sense when you think about it. If Lyles wins the primary, it is all over.  He CANNOT defeat Ciro in South Texas.  We will have no chance in November.  Let’s not fool ourselves about this simple fact.

The reality is that Quico Canseco has the ability to appeal to Latinos who are conservative, independent and swing Democrats who share our values.  Thinking ahead, we need a conservative Republican leader who can help us grow this base of voters.  Lyle is not that candidate and we all know it.

I think Joe makes an excellent point when he points out the fire and passion Quico has for the 23rd District:

Who has a track record of campaigning for over one year throughout the massive congressional district?  (I’m talking about hundreds of meetings.)

Who has committed over $500,000 in personal resources so he can serve us?

Who has a campaign team that has already visited over 10,000 homes?

Quico has made his passion for this campaign very evident.  Larson…not so much.
