This can't be bad. Maybe you'll get some folks who aren't already "boughten."

Note: Latino Superpac is saying it will fund each of 15 GOP congresscritters with + ads - the pushback was immediate! Note: GRodriguez is trying to rebrand GOP as "Conservatives" in an attempt to garner the Hispanics vote. Most Hispanics are not dumb and won't believe this bogus "bait and switch"!
