Funny that "Joe" Campos and now become "Jose" Campos isn't it? I wonder why that is.

@ Ray: Joe's legal name, and name on the ballot, is Jose. Joe is just what he was called to differentiate him from his dad and his son, also Jose's. Joe, Joseph, Jose: some people don't know it's the same name, but it's all about living in a bilingual state. This isn't Arizona, you know.
