Greg Abbott and Latinos - an unrequited love (and stinkweed)

San Antonio Express-News

Gregg Abbott is said to be courting the Hispanic vote in his quest to be Texas' next governor.
Mr. Attorney General, it is more than coquettishness that prompts me to tell you how flattered we are by the attention. I've thought for awhile that my sashaying to and from ballot boxes in Texas and elsewhere had gone unnoticed by the GOP.
Good to know I've still got it after all these years.
