Former U.S. Rep. Ciro Rodriguez, who hopes to regain the District 28 seat he lost to Cuellar two years ago, received nearly $12,000 in campaign donations Thursday.
The 263 online donations were made within hours of a call to action by two left-leaning bloggers, the San Antonio Express-News reported in its Friday editions. ActBlue, an online clearinghouse for Democratic fundraising, tallied the donations.
The photograph was taken at this week's State of the Union address and shows Bush holding a smiling Cuellar's head between his hands. Cuellar was standing at the doorway to the House chamber where Bush entered on the Republican side of the aisle.
Oscar Sanchez, a spokesman for the Rodriguez campaign, said the photo struck a nerve with Democrats.
"It really shows that Democrats want a real Democrat in Congress," Sanchez said.

The campaign has begun in earnest. We cannot ignore the clarion call to battle. Who is on the Lord's side? They who fight for justice.
