She lost 1 to Obama and picked up 2 undecideds, so that’s +1 for today.
So who was the super? Rep. Ciro Rodriguez from Texas:
“A big reason is because his district voted so overwhelmingly for her, that’s one of the biggest reasons,” said Rodriguez’ spokesman Josh Rosenblum.Rodriguez said in a statement issued by the Clinton campaign that he still believes she can win.
“Not only can she win, I am convinced that she will be a truly great president,” Rodriguez said. “In two areas of special importance to me, caring for our veterans and improving our schools, Hillary has been a real leader. I am happy to follow the clear choice of my constituents and support Hillary for President.”
