The democrats said that they would have a better chance of winning if it went to runoff and less voters voted in the runoff. I guess they were right. I wonder if he would have won if there had not been a run off.
My State Rep got blown away in a special election because the Democrats can identify their voters better and get them out to vote. Bonilla very well might have won if he just faced Rodriguez in November, but it would have been close.
