He may be dropping back in.

Or maybe not.

Late Wednesday, Ciro Rodriguez told a group of San Antonio labor activists he was getting out of the chaotic eight-way race in the redrawn Congressional District 23 home to GOP incumbent Henry Bonilla.

Thursday morning, Rodriguez sounded even more emphatic, telling an Associated Press reporter: "I'm not going to be running and that's my decision based on family and personal reasons."

But Thursday afternoon, campaign spokeswoman Gina Castañeda called to say whoa. She said Rodriguez, a former four-term congressman, had gotten a flood of calls from supporters and, as a result, opted to give himself until 5 p.m. today to make up his mind.
