EP delegates sticking with Clinton

DENVER _ Sharing a few libations in the lobby of the Red Lion in Aurora, just south of Denver, a few El Paso delegates talked to me tonight about their undying devotion to U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton.
CNN and the AP are reporting that Clinton is likely to release her convention delegates this week, freeing them to vote for U.S. Sen. Barack Obama.
State Rep. Paul Moreno said Clinton can make whatever order she wants, but he's still going to vote for her.
"It's my conscience," Moreno said. "I don't support someone just for a moment."
Moreno said Obama doesn't understand Mexican-Americans or their struggles for civil rights.
"My main concern since I've been in politics is the underrepresentation of the Mexican-Americans," he said.
Ramona "Monchi" De La Paz Torres said she's sticking with Clinton, too.
"I hope she didn't release me," she said.
De La Paz Torres said she was disappointed that Clinton won't be the party's nominee for president or for vice president, but she's still happy to be at the national convention.
"I'm very, very excited," she said, "but at the same time a little sad."

Monchita and Paul can stay in Colorado. We have plenty of sheep in El Paso.

Obama #1!!!

[OH PLEASE]

So a white woman understands minority needs more than a minority? If we have 4 more GOP years in the White House, we have "trailblazers" like these to thank.
