Feb. 26, Interview - In addition to Connecticut, Obama received a majority of Latino votes in Virginia and his home state of Illinois. But Clinton's appeal to Latino voters is hard to overcome, especially in Texas, where the Clinton's have strong ties to the state and where Latinos could make up a quarter of voters. Obama's campaign is relying on their same grassroots strategy: seeking out Latinos to be precinct captains at Texas' caucuses and vying for the endorsement of Latino elected officials.

Texas State Representative Rafael Anchia of West Dallas, a young up an coming politician, the son of Mexican and Spanish immigrants. He says Obama is gaining the support of young Latino voters.

"Young people like a young dynamic candidate, the son of an immigrant, who talks about opportunity and who has been rock solid on Latino issues like the War in Iraq, health care and comprehensive immigration reform and finally the Dream Act. He scored big points at last week's Presidential debate when he talked about the Dream Act."

Anchia says Obama needs to spend more time in South Texas, a portion of the state which Hillary Clinton has picked up the endorsements of most Latino officials and community leaders.

The Obama campaign says they have opened offices all through South Texas and are continuing their on the ground outreach.

The Clinton campaign is continuing to focus on South Texas, where she has the support of most Latino officials and organizations there.
