14 Mayors Endorse Watts
Filed by Matt Glazer on August 16th, 2007
The Monitor is reporting fourteen Rio Grande Valley mayors have endorsed Mikal Watts.
The list of endorsing mayors include: Alamo, Alton, Edcouch, Edinburg, Elsa, Granjeno, La Joya, La Villa, Palmhurst, Palmview, Peñitas, San Juan, Sullivan City and Weslaco.
No statement has been issued at this time.
I don’t think Mikal is more viable than Rick. They are both excellent candidates. I think that one is running a campaign that might have more general election appeal and the other is running a campaign that may have more primary appeal, but that doesn’t make one more viable than the other.

You may be right. We are lucky that we do have two very viable Democrats running against Cornyn.I have been disturbed
at the anti-Watts rhetoric.If I as a good Democrat and Hispanic and female can support Watts and still accept that
Noriega is a viable candidate what is it with Noriega’s
supporters? “You think your’re better than me?”

Disregard second one.That is an interesting analysis of how the race is being run.Which candidate’s campaign do you depict
as having more general election appeal and which as having more primary appeal. It doesn’t really matter because the
horse comes before the cart.You have to appeal to those primary voters first.

Noriega has some passionate loud and aggressive supporters who support and respect his decisions.
I believe Rick should convey a message throughout the network which supports him. The Democratic Underground blatantly violates the 1st Amendment to advantage themselves in political discourse. To delete the input because that input is damaging to their agenda. Just think if we got a few of these censoring types as attached to a Noriega ascension to Senate.
Then they would wield their power to censor any Texas Voice who differed from their agenda.
Noriega continues to Acquiesce, ignore and buffer himself from answering the questions himself.
This will not fly well as the news will Snowball if he continues to Acquiesce.
Nobody will answer or defend the allegations and nobody will deny them.
Does Rick Noriega support the censorship tactics employed by the Democratic Underground?
Tell em they are wrong and to reinstate the accounts.

As I have said before Mikal Watts has a lot of grassroots support in South Texas. More to come. In the rural areas small counties like Brooks,Keberg,Jim Wells, etc.And a lot more to come in Nueces County. No offense to Rick Noriega
but Mikal is a more viable candidate than Rick is . He,Mikal, can beat John Cornyn.I really do not believe that Rick Noriega can.
