TX-28 primary

[socaldem]

Though I'm much more closely aligned, ideologically, to Ciro Rodriguez, I'm not to disappointed in a Henry Cuellar win since a Rodriguez win would have greatly increased the risk of a Cuellar party defection in the next election.  If Cuellar were to win as a GOPer, I think he'd win, easily.  I just hope that in the next redistricting, Webb county gets lumpted into a district resembling the one that Rep. Henry Bonilla held during the 1990s.

That said, I'm happy to see that the up-and-coming Carlos Uresti beat a conservative incumbent state senator who may one day carry on Rodriguez's legacy of progressive representation for Bexar county.

At the very least, Democrats can take solace in the fact that the GOP also has a Texas-sized thorn in their side in Rep. Ron Paul.
