Retired Army Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez (D) will announce Wednesday morning that he is filing to run for the open Senate seat in Texas, according to a Democratic source close to the campaign.
Sanchez, a three-star general who oversaw military operations in Iraq from 2003 to 2004, will declare his intentions on his Facebook page. National Democrats have touted Sanchez as a top candidate, frequently citing his military record and Hispanic background as draws for Texas voters.
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray (Wash.) has identified the Texas race as one of six GOP-held Senate seats that her party is targeting in 2012. The others are in Nevada, Maine, Indiana, Arizona and Massachusetts.
A campaign for any Democratic candidate in Texas is an uphill climb. It’s a particularly expensive state for campaigns, and no Democrat has won a top statewide election in Texas since 1990.

ERt. Lt Gen Sanchez to Enter Senate Race in Texas
Re: ERt. Lt Gen Sanchez to Enter Senate Race in Texas
being Hispanic won't hurt.
In his recent book “Known and Unknown”...Rumsfeld made it very clear that Sanchez was in way over his head.
Sanchez allegedly wrote the rules for treatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib (sp)
not sure if that will come back to haunt him.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. Al Swearengen
