We've been talking a lot about that Republican in sheep's clothing Henry Cuellar, and we'll do so again moving forward.
But for now, let's talk about Ciro Rodriguez.
[...]
Ciro is a good guy, a good Democrat. In the 107th Congress, Ciro was ranked 122 outof 213 in the party's left-right scale, right in the middle. He scored more liberal than such party stalwarths as Patrick Kennedy and Joe Hoeffel, and just behind Zoe Lofgren, John Dingell, and Corrine Brown.
This is a guy who showed Henry Cuellar the ropes, introduced him to donors, to other Democratic congresspersons including the entire Hispanic caucus, mentored him, until DeLay redistricted them into the same district and Cuellar decided his personal ambitions were more important than the help and friendship Rodriguez provided.
It's been about 23 hours since I started posting on this race, and in that time the netroots, Atrios, and Firedoglage ActBlue pages have collectively raised nearly $30K. The Cuellar people dismissed our efforts yesterday as a "one-day story". Too bad for them it won't be.
According to SAEN:
A well-traveled photograph of U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar being embraced by President Bush prior to Tuesday's State of the Union address triggered a rush of Internet donations to one of Cuellar's Democratic primary rivals Thursday.
Within hours of a call to arms being posted on two liberal-leaning political blogs, the Daily Kos and Eschaton, former congressman Ciro Rodriguez's campaign received 263 cyber contributions totaling nearly $12,000, according to ActBlue, a Web-based clearinghouse for Democratic candidates nationwide.
“This may be billed as a Democratic primary, but in this solidly Democratic Latino-majority district, Republicans needed a Republican in sheep's clothing like Cuellar to have a chance of winning,” the Daily Kos blog post read.
Cuellar sucks. Give to Ciro if you can.

There is no doubt Ciro ran a poor campaign when he lost to Henry (by less than 300 votes by the way).
Since then Cuellar has been exposed for the Republican shill that he is. Real Dems are energized about this primary. I believe Ciro learned from last time, and I believe he will win.
I have been looking for sites like this for a long time.
