23. Ciro won! I'm so glad. CQ Pol. has Buchanan vs Jennings too close to call.

I was wondering how the runoff election went.

What's the latest on Fla 13 - Buchanan vs Jennings ?

11. This was mentioned elsewhere on DU,

in connection with the US-Mexico border being now solidly Democrat (or almost). That might put a crimp in those Minute Men. Not being from that region, I didn't make the Bonilla connection until now.

:D :D :D

[Old and In the Way]

13. Wow...everyone seemed to be lowering expectations on this race.

It sounded like Bonilla was going to win this no problem. Great news!

[autorank]

14. This is HUGE..Thanks Texas Democrats...

Bonilla has been around forever. What a statement on El Jeffe in the WH and also the turning point for Texas Democrats. Talk about David and Goliath.

15. This is beyond HUGE.

16. Your grammar and spelling are moranic.

[SoCalDem]

19. Ahem!.. don't you mean grammer?

:P

17. Bush's "popularity" has gone down 5 points since last month

and he was exactly sailing high in early November, to say the least. Lucky for Bush the midterms were held then. Congress would have 10-20 more Dems if they were held this month.

[UrbScotty]

18. YEARGH!! (nt)

[lostnfound]

20. Another win for progressive Democrats, too..Yay.

Ciro Rodriguez was on the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

[Pacifist Patriot]

21. Yes! Except being from Florida I have to say...

This ALMOST makes up for that assclown Buchanan stealing a deserved Dem seat in Florida.

[Kelly Rupert]

22. Fantastic.

Now we can afford to kick Jefferson to the curb.

[Liberty Belle]
