TX-28: Il Bacio Della Morte

Posted by DavidNYC

Ah, the kiss of death:

That's George W. Bush, 43rd President of the United States, giving a big ol' smooch to Rep. Henry Cuellar, the first-ever "Democrat" endorsed by the Club for Growth. If and when he's beaten in the primary by former Rep. Ciro Rodriguez, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Cuellar switches parties. Of course, the TX filing deadline has passed, but I'm sure the GOP could, you know, work something out.

Is it just me, or does that have a more than vaguely papal feel?

Give George and Henry a break -- maybe they saw Brokeback Mountain and got inspired!

What about another, further danger? What if Cuellar wins the primary,
and then switches parties after the election if the GOP continues in control of the House?

Texans out there, with more familiarity about local politics: is that a scenario to fear?
It seems like the House GOP leadership could offer him plum committee posts, as incentives.
It's being pointed out elsewhere that Cuellar sat on the GOP side of the aisle,
to hear the State of the Humbug speech.

I put a contribution box for Ciro Rodriquez on my
ActBlue page and moved it to the top,
in view of the short timeframe.

Folks, even small contributions help:

(The other races I've profiled there may also be of interest.)
