Ciro: Having Doubts?

By Vince Leibowitz  on Aug 31, 2006 in 2006 Texas Elections      

With every election cycle, there are always those candidates who are “in and out,” “in and out.” I never thought we could add Ciro Rodriguez to that list, but evidently he’s having some doubts about withdrawing.

Evidently, his supporters in South San want him in the race, and are pledging money to back him:

Rodriguez’s spokeswoman, Gina Castaneda, said people who heard that he was leaving the race called and visited Rodriguez’s campaign offices to encourage him not to drop out simply because of a lack of funds.

She estimated the campaign had received much more than $2,000 in pledges and donations Thursday.

“It’s not about money, it’s about voters,” Castaneda said. “He’s just been humbled” by the support.

Castaneda said Rodriguez was unavailable for comment late Thursday but said he planned to decide by the end of Friday whether to stay in the race.

We’ll see, I guess. It’s all up in the air now.
