What I meant to say is that I supported Cueller because I see him as being a viable statewide candidate in Texas one day. Any Democrat can be a statewide candidate, whether they can win statewide in Texas is another question and I think Cueller could

Two problems
1. Cuellar ran as a Democrat because only a Democrat can get elected in that district
2. Chet Edwards manages to win in a much more Republican area of Texas (went 70% for Bush in 2004), and is more liberal.
As for SamSpade's comments, this was all before the court changed the districts, so they're not at all relevant.
I really, really hope that Cuellar runs against Cornyn in 2008 for Senate.
He will lose, and then we can get a real Democrat into his seat in Congress.
Define a real Democrat? A Democrat does not have to be some uber-left liberal dove, you know . The party would be much stronger if it was not perceived as being so
Dave
that sh**t, this party would be much stronger if it didn't have "Democrats" like Cuellar backstabbing it at every chance.
