Governor Rick Perry is touting the appointment of Judge Eva Guzman of Houston to the state’s highest court.
She is the first Hispanic woman and second Hispanic to join the Texas Supreme Court, which also includes Justice David Medina.
The Governor’s office issued a press release highlighting what other republicans around the state are saying about the historic appointment.

Will the rave reviews about this appointment be at the top of every speech given by Governor Perry, as he travels around the state campaigning to keep his job?
Voters, especially those in the predominately Hispanic area of South Texas, will likely consider this a positive step when deciding whether to vote for Perry or U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison in the March 2010 primary.
Justice Guzman is well liked and highly respected. I haven’t heard anyone question her qualifications.
She is considered a “Wise Latina woman” who not only appeals to conservative republicans, but who is admired by many Texans from all walks of life.
Will this appointment help Governor Perry keep his job?
