The political shock felt by the Democrats in Massachusetts could be only a slight tremor compared to what may happen in the traditionally Democratic and predominately Hispanic South Texas election scene where the Tea Party movement is growing. A political debate held in the Rio Grande Valley shows Hispanics views mirror those developing across the country.Since before World War II the most southern area of Texas along the Mexican border, known locally as the Rio Grande Valley, has been a staunch Democratic bastion tightly controlled by a “party boss systemâ€

That is an encouraging article. Very different from what we usually read, especially from ethnocentric special interests and the media reports about them.

A refreshing article with alot of truth to it, glad someone wrote it. I do have to disagree with one statement tho:

However, what got the Republican party in trouble was that the rhetoric about immigration from certain politicians sounded much more like thinly veiled racism than a concern for workers.

The ones who equated hispanics with illegal aliens were those who supported amnesty, they constantly made it all about "race". The liberals and advocates of illegal aliens have used race-baiting to obfuscate the real reason, which has nothing to do with the race/ethnicity of illegal aliens.

I agree with your assessment of that section.
