Andrew Breitbart
ANALYSIS/OPINION: The Washington Times
Sometimes I just don't get the Republican Party.
Back in 2004, a smart, good-looking moderate Republican Hispanic ran for Congress. At the time Victor Elizalde was just under 40 years old and working as an executive at a big-time Hollywood studio.
