Bill Clinton, Obama adviser on opposite sides of fiery race between incumbent Democrat congressmen

WASHINGTON -- In early 2009, El Paso Rep. Sylvestre Reyes (D) warned city council members that, if they approved a resolution calling for a debate on marijuana legalization, the city would jeopardize its federal funding.Instead, what turned out to be at risk was Reyes' seat in the House of Representatives in 2012. On Tuesday night, El Paso voters ousted Reyes in a Democratic primary, in favor of the council member who had pushed the 2009 legalization resolution, Beto O'Rourke.Reyes, a former border control agent who was elected to Congress in 1996, had the backing of President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton. Reyes brought the popular Clinton to the district to campaign for him this year and dredged up his opponent's burglary and driving while intoxicated charges from the 1990s. It wasn't enough. As the U.S.-backed drug war in Mexico has raged just across El Paso's border, Texas officials have struggled to cope with its consequences. O'Rourke, in 2009, successfully pushed a resolution through the city council that called on the federal government to consider legalization as one possible policy response to the spiraling violence.President Obama, facing pressure from Latin American leaders, has said more recently that such a discussion is legitimate. But three years ago, even floating the notion was controversial. The mayor vetoed O'Rourke's resolution, and Reyes warned the council that, if it overrode the veto, federal funds would be at risk.'All we're asking for is a conversation, and no important issue in the history of the United States -- social, criminal, legal or otherwise -- has ever been harmed by having an open discussion. That's all we're asking for today,' said O'Rourke at the time. City Rep. Emma Acosta said during debate on the veto override that she had finally been persuaded by the funding threat. 'If we had voted yesterday, I would have voted in favor of it,"

Rep. Silvestre Reyes (D-Texas) may soon join Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) and Reps. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio) and Tim Holden (D-Pa.) on an expanding list of members who can't hold their seat through the primary.Despite prominent endorsements from former President Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama, the long-serving Reyes is in an extremely tight primary battle against newcomer Beto O'Rourke in Tuesday's election, analysts from El Paso told their local ABC affiliate this weekend. Both members spent hundreds of thousands on the race.The close race had Reyes and his office in a flurry of activity today. O'Rourke, who received the endorsement of the El Paso Times, kept his office 'noticeably calmer,' according to a local ABC affiliate. Reyes has encouraged a final push from his staff. In their last efforts, staff members identified more than 30,000 supporters, according to communications director Jose Borjon. 'We have been phone banking, block-walking, [and] visiting polling sites. We had a volunteer cook-out last night.' Borjon told The Huffington Post. 'We are working the election day hard [and] we are confident we will win.'O'Rourke, on the other hand, felt less pressure to ramp up his efforts as the clocked ticked down.'This has been run like a marathon,' O'Rourke said to ABC-7 in El Paso. 'We started nine months ago and we've worked hard each and every day, working seven days a week throughout this, so there's nothing a mad sprint can win at this point.'Incumbency usually affords a candidate increased name recognition and access to networks of supporters and donors; less than 5 percent of members have lost their primaries in the past few decades. But with voters on both sides of the aisle expressing dissatisfaction with incumbent politicians, long terms have hurt several prominent lawmakers this year, including Lugar, who served six terms in the Senate.
