One of the best forums to hear the debate between candidates running for office in Hidalgo County is at Hidalgo County Bar Association Candidate Forum & Debate. Following the debate members of the local bar association conduct a straw poll of those in attendance.

Biased!
A totally biased poll. Leave it to people.
I wouldn't call it biased, but it's interesting to see that some people believe that Omar Guerrero is still their candidate of choice. I mean, the guy never shows up to work, doesn't show up to meetings, doesn't show up to debates.... Laura was right to ask, "Where's Omar?"
I am sure you liked those results Aaron.
Why was Gina Benavides allowed to READ a prepared statement in the rebuttle to the question that Judge Errlinda Castillo was asked?. I know that when one agrees to participate in a legal forum the questions are not known before hand, but obiviously Gina Benavides was informed of the question.
