TX-28: Live from Ciro’s Campaign Headquarters in San Antonio

Posted by Tracy Joan

Note: All times are local (Central) time.

It is 5:45 and we have an hour and 15 minutes until the polls close on the first Primary of the 2006 cycle. You may have read some of my updates on this race over in the diaries at DailyKos or MyDD, but they have been pretty sporadic, so if you missed them, the short of it is that I have been working with Ciro Rodriguez in the 28th District since late January. Tonight, as we await the results of today’s Election, it’s my huge honor to bring you the results live from the campaign’s headquarters.

[6:58 p.m.] The polls are closing in a few minutes. Ciro is still out there, last I heard at a local high school poll site. The office is humming with preparations for an eveing watching the returns. Lots of food being prepared by our fantastic volunteers and a lot of tired feet. More very soon.

[7:05 p.m.] The polls are closed. Before I move to a new thread for the rest of the evenings results I want to make sure each and everyone of you know that this could never have transformed into the race it has become without the support of the progessive community. Not only has this campaign been the benefit of friends in national labor with the AFL-CIO and Change to Win Unions, the League of Conservation Voters, NARAL, DFA, MoveOn.org, and the thousands of readers who make the liberal blogosphere what it is day in and day out. That has been a crucial part of making this into a national cause and one that I know I am proud to be a part of.

Early vote numbers in Bexar County are starting to roll in.

(WITH 102 OF 102 PRECINCTS COUNTED)

Ciro D. Rodriguez. . . . . . . . 4,910 - - 73.39%

Henry Cuellar . . . . . . . . . 1,395 - - 20.85%

Victor Morales. . . . . . . . . 385 - - 5.75%

I'm cooking and getting settled in for tonight's results. I'm hoping I will read tonight's results with just as much enjoyment as OH-2 but with a "happy-ending".

Welcome, Tracy! Glad you can be with us! David must be so proud that he's snared you over such other high-end venues like DailyKos and MyDD. ;P

Im liking these early votes. Are these the numbers you expected from early voters?

OK... what gives?

McMullen County only had a total of about 110 people voting in 2004 (according to Kos' numbers), and they broke only 60-40 for Cuellar. Early results in 2006?

102-15 for Cuellar.

WTF??
