Ciro Rodriguez lost his reelection race to turncoat, closet Republican, Henry Cuellar by a mere 58 votes in the last cycle. He accomplished this by gaining an 86%-14% vote advantage in that part of Webb County within the 28th Congressional District. Henry swamped Ciro in Laredo, despite Laredo's liberal, true-blue, voting history, because he is the home-boy. But Henry can't possibly do better in Laredo, where his voting record has been highly publicized. The turnout in Laredo, nonetheless, is a key to this race, and so far it looks good for Ciro. Check-out why below the fold.
