Richard Raymond out of CD-28 race
He's going to return to the statehouse.

From Rep. Aaron Pena's blog:

We were first to tell you that he was running for Congress, let me be the first to tell you that he has had a change of heart and will be running for his old State Representative seat again.

Raymond's withdrawal would make it a two-man race in the March Democratic primary between Cuellar and Ciro Rodriguez, the former congressman from San Antonio who was ousted by Cuellar in a bitter contest two years ago.

A poll conducted by Pineda Consulting surveyed 499 primary voters between Oct. 18-23 and Oct. 26-29. It showed that if the election were held immediately, 45 percent of voters would go for Cuellar, 32 percent for Rodriguez, and 11 percent for Raymond.

1. Damn!!!
That breaks my heart, but I understand if his polling numbers against Cuellar look that bad, it's not a good race right now. I can't believe that Cuellar is out-polling Ciro Rodriguez. Ciro is our dog in this fight now.

Let me just remind everyone in that district, that Cuellar once again voted with the republicans on reauthorizing the "Patriot Act". He sucks!

:cry:

3. Cuellar voted for the Patriot Act extension
We must help the good citizens of CD-28 eject him from the Congress, and put Ciro back in.
