(Our grassroots efforts will push Obama over the top in Texas. Volunteer today! - promoted by Ian)
Our grassroots campaign is firing on all cylinders. We've opened up 20 field offices across Texas, and we need your help during this final weekend before Election Day. Please volunteer to become a Texas Precinct Captain, and swing by one of our field offices and get involved. The election is only 3 days away...it's now or never!
The Clinton campaign had a 30 point lead just a couple of months ago, but our volunteers have worked hard to close the gap. Let's finish the job and deliver Texas for Obama. Yes we can!

The Austin American Statesman has a well-researched and stat-rich article on the Latino vote, the Black-Brown friction myth, and how a "new report shows Obama has erased [Clinton's] advantage among Latinos."
Read the whole thing. It's quite good (and i think quite rare) to see such an in-depth actual analysis in a mainstream article.
Some of the more salient quotes:
Though he ultimately lost to Republican John Cornyn, [Ron] Kirk's success with Hispanics undermines the oft-quoted idea that antipathy between blacks and Latinos will hinder Obama's own pursuit of Hispanic votes.
Hispanics represent about 20 percent - 2.6 million - of Texas' registered voters, and after flirting with the Republican Party during the Bush years, they are back in the Democrats' fold, according to a Pew Hispanic Center national survey in December.
Analysts say Hispanics make up about 35 percent to 40 percent of Democratic primary voters but might account for considerably more on March 4 if Texas mirrors the record turnouts in other states.
Those numbers, combined with the sheer star power of two popular candidates, are creating a buzz that has some feeling almost giddy about the importance of Latino voters this year.
