Cisneros likes him and he's a Clinton boy.

Hispanic pride
    "In the 36 years that I have voted, I have supported and voted for only one Republican. That was when Alberto Gonzales ran for election to the Texas Supreme Court," Henry Cisneros, the Democratic former mayor of San Antonio and housing secretary in the Clinton administration, writes in the Wall Street Journal.
    "I messaged friends about this uncommonly capable and serious man. I urged them to support his campaign financially, and voted for him. He is now President Bush's nominee to be attorney general of the United States and I urge his confirmation," Mr. Cisneros said.
    "Thorough scrutiny of a nominee is the Senate's obligation in the confirmation process and in this time of war, sharp questioning will understandably seek to clarify aspects of our national policy with respect to the treatment of prisoners in the war against terror, matters on which White House Counsel Gonzales has advised the president. The questioning should be as intense as the subject is important, and in the end Alberto Gonzales should be confirmed."
    Mr. Cisneros added: "As an American of Latino heritage, I also want to convey the immense sense of pride that Latinos across the nation feel because of Judge Gonzales' nomination."
