Answer

The bilingual man is the subject.  She was not impressed by the fact that the man had said she was wonderful - he could not be expected to say anything else.  She was touched by the fact that the bilingual man was trying so hard to give a good impression of Texas to her and her husband (the Kennedys),
Waging a campaign = engaged in a significant effort
