Time to Rethink Cuellar?

Interesting video from last week ...

Welcome to Webb County politics. Cuellar's brother (along with a small gaggle of others) is running against Sheriff Flores, so consider that when viewing. Oh, and Glen Beck's never even been to the border ... not once. Consider that also. Mark McKinnon - one of those rightwing political hacks that somehow manage to find themselves in the Op-Ed pages of the so-called liberal Houston Chronicle - has another view on the topic.

The other aspect of this that's interesting to me is that Cuellar has been playing much better with his fellow Dems on several issues of late. Note his line of argument here as one small example. S-CHIP being another.

Is it time for some of the blogospheric left to come around and rethink Cuellar a bit? If the Flores-Cuellar bloodfeud escalates, be careful of what your alternative might be in that district. I've said it once, I'll say it again ... just because a lot of them are poor and brown doesn't mean they're as Democratic as you might think.
