While we might all have forgotten about elections, there is still one race to be decided for the United States House of Representatives. Due to a Supreme Court decision, TX-23 had to be redrawn. The election tomorrow is between Congressman Henry Bonilla and former Congressman turned Kossack darling, Ciro Rodriguez. Mr. Rodriguez, you'll remember, saw the lefties rally around him to oust moderate Henry Cuellar in the Democratic primary earlier this year.
A recent SurveyUSA poll shows that, even though the redrawn district leans Democrat, Henry Bonilla is favored to win. However, if the latino vote shows up in overwhelming numbers Bonilla could be in trouble.
According to the SurveyUSA poll, Bonilla is expected to win 53% to 46%. Bonilla has 70% of the white vote and Rodriguez has 72% of the Hispanic vote. Bonilla has thrown some heavy charges at Rodriguez, including the fact that Rodriguez sought to soften anti-terror laws while receiving campaign contributions from supporters of several Islamic radicals.
