Mucho TX-23 Mexican border. FlA's latest data reflects the Democrats are outraising the Republicans 3:1 for 2008 U.S. Congress races. - MAR
Even under redistricting, Bonilla received 48+% of the vote in the general election, running against 5 or 6, maybe 7, Dems. Rodriguez got the highest % of the Dems, which wasn’t very much, and went on to the run-off. The run-off for Bonilla DEPENDED heavily on voter turn out and unfortunately, turn out was dismal! People were just plained tired of politics at that point. Rodriguez had Move-on support and they came out of the woodwork from other states to work his run-off campaign. The 23rd has some strong Republican precincts, especially northwest San Antonio. Del Rio has a big military presence. We’ll see, I’m still sticking to my statement that Cyro Rodriguez is a one-termer. If I could vote in this district, I’d put my money on Lyle Larson, and I may contribute to his campaign anyway.
