2. I TOTALLY don't understand Bower's projections at this link-

http://www.mydd.com/story/2006/3/7/193648/9623

He seems to have Cuellar running against his own numbers last time instead of agains Ciro's this time.

But the stakes, I understand:

This is it. This is he first election where the netroots have tried to knock off a Democratic incumbent.

5. Oh NO! If Rodriguez beats Cuellar, it will be a PURGE!!

<snicker>

10. This looks good.

But Ciro's going to have to do well in Webb, too, which is Henry's home turf.

[Tom Joad]

11. Who is the most progressive in this race? I suspect cuellar is the most

reactionary.

[okasha]

13. Ciro is.

Henry has progressive moments, but they can't be trusted to last. A local environmentalist had him talked out of voting to drill Anwar, then he flip-flopped once he got back to Washington and his good buddy George.

15. Ciro is a much better candidate.

Cuellar found time to get all huggy/smoochy/kissyface with Bush at the SOTU. Plus he stole the election in 2004...he has to go.

14. DMN has 40.58% reporting- Ciro's still ahead

Ciro 7928

Cuellar 3509

Morales 904

[Rose Siding]

16. NOW it says only 23.91% reporting. I HATE it when that happens!

Ciro 9696

Cuellar 5320

Morales 1051

18. Back up to 34% on DMN. The problem is Webb Co- no votes in yet

snip>
In case you are wondering why I am still porjecting Cuellar ahead despite Ciro's robust lead in the actual vote count, Webb County, which accounted for over 31% of the vote in 2004, has not reported a single vote yet. And in 2004, it went 84-16 for Cuellar.

In fact Webb County was a deciding factor in Cuellar's last win over Ciro:
An abnormally high number of voters in Webb County aged 90 years or older prompted an attorney for the Ciro Rodriguez congressional campaign to request an investigation by the Texas Secretary of State. During the first 4 days of early voting, 93 votes were cast by people 90 or over and 51 were 100 or older.

In a message addressed to Kim Thol, Programs Specialist for the Elections Division of the Secretary of State, Luis Vera requested “an immediate appointment for an inspector for Webb County.” Vera reminded Thol, “Webb County has a long history of allegations of voter fraud.” In the 2004 primary election, Vera added, “the fraud made national news.” He was referring to the controversial election between Henry Cuellar and Rodriguez in which ballots, “discovered” days after the polls closed, eventually swung the election to Cuellar by a narrow 58 votes.

Vera also requested an investigation by the Voter Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice.
