republican office holders. here's how the plan who set up grow elect described to us how much a challen that can be when it comes to that kind of fight. take a listen. >> we want to see latinos represented in democratic strongholds, in republican strongholds, in competitive seats so we're finding candidates that fit their districts. we're finding great success in democratic areas. we're finding fantastic success in republican strongholds as well. >> well, grow elect is going and already winning the kind of seats that, well, school board mayoral races but at some point they're going to have to go after the big seats like the congressional seats and also the state seats. and that can be a tough internal fight within the party. yesterday i spoke to the texas governor rick perry and asked him precisely what he thought about this new group of republicans coming forward in the party. this is how he described it. >> i think it's a bad strategy.
