"SAN ANTONIO - Democrats vowed Saturday to increase the party's appeal on all levels among Hispanics, including giving the nation's fastest-growing minority group more resources and leadership positions in the party.
Among the issues discussed during this weekend's Hispanic Leadership Summit has been turning back advances that the Republican Party made among Hispanic voters during the last presidential election. The renewed commitment spurred many to greater resolve that Democrats can make political gains in the next couple of years.
"There will soon be a Hispanic governor in the state of Texas," Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said in his keynote speech, evoking loud applause. "There are people sitting in this room who will run for governor."
The summit -- the third overall and first in Texas -- was designed to collect feedback from the party's Hispanic faithful nationwide and to help shape a new marketing campaign in October, Dean said."-from the AP story today.
