I think Castro would be heavily favored in the primary, but obviously he'd lose the general by a substantial margin.
What was the percentage of the Hispanic vote (Cuban, Mexican or any other race) Ted Cruz won in 2012?
Republicans normally get 40% of the Hispanic vote in Texas. Rick Perry cracked 45% once, IIRC.
What % of the Latino Vote do you think Castro would get against Cruz? (considering Castro is the 1st Mexican American to run for Governor or Senator recently... I think)
There was Tony Sanchez in '02, and he was the former AG so he'd actually won statewide before
That said, TX 2002 and TX today are very different states
