Should have had Cisneros.

Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar, the lone anti-abortion Democrat in the House, said Friday his position has not changed.

"We'll let the states make this decision now," he said.

Asked by NBC News about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's reaction to the Supreme Court's decision, which she said was "cruel," Cuellar said, "Everybody has their opinion, including the speaker."

Cuellar said that while he was in the minority in his caucus, he is not in his district.

I'm sure he's pretty chuffed at the support he got. How does that support look now?

that a Pelosi endorsement means squat in South Texas? Because I live pretty close to South Texas and I can tell you, it doesn't.

I wish he would have lost, but the reality is that it's a pretty conservative district.
