Recount narrows Cuellar's lead to 58 votes
Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO -- A second recount of Democratic primary ballots in Webb County on today slashed challenger Henry Cuellar's lead over District 28 incumbent U.S. Rep. Ciro Rodriguez from 203 votes to a mere 58 votes.

The court-ordered recount in Cuellar's home county, which also included inspection of ballots for signs of tampering, ended with Cuellar at 12,747 votes, while Rodriguez had 2,429.

That compares to 12,894 for Cuellar and 2,431 for Rodriguez after the first recount in Webb County on March 30.

"It looks good," Rodriguez said in San Antonio. "It looks great."

Who thinks that Hispanic representation is the result of shifting demographics and a good thing?

2. I used to like Henry Cuellar
when he was our representative in the Texas legislature. But then he endorsed Bush and became his Secretary of State (when Bush was Governor of Texas), and endorsed him again for President. Now, instead of challenging Henry Bonilla the Repub a**hole again, he tries to unseat one of the most senior Texas Democrats in Congress.
