Jaime Castillo and Gary Martin of the San Antonio Express-News report on the reaction to the Bush/Cuellar hug:

A well-traveled photograph of U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar being embraced by President Bush prior to Tuesday’s State of the Union address triggered a rush of Internet donations to one of Cuellar’s Democratic primary rivals Thursday.

Within hours of a call to arms being posted on two liberal-leaning political blogs, the Daily Kos and Eschaton, former congressman Ciro Rodriguez’s campaign received 263 cyber contributions totaling nearly $12,000, according to ActBlue, a Web-based clearinghouse for Democratic candidates nationwide.

Off the Kuff also blogs about Cuellar’s rough day. Burnt Orange Report looks into the Cuellar record. And The Red State kicks in with a Grant of his own.
